“Train” is an uptempo electronic dance song defined by its hypnotic buzzsaw synths and decadent lyrics.

[Verse 1]
Plastic brain scar, I want laser
I'm your chauffeur with high gloss highs
Take you where you want
[Chorus]
Can't stop, oh, off the train
Train, yeh, yeh, yeh
[Verse 2]
Wolf lady sucks my brain
Apricot sunrise came
L.A. nights, just roll in
[Chorus]
Can't stop, oh, off the train
Train, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Can't stop, oh, off the train
Train, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Verse 3]
Nasal douche, poolside line
Softlit tan, what's your sign?
Hold my hand, just roll in
[Chorus]
Can't stop, oh, off the train
Train, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Can't stop, oh off the train
Train, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Chorus]
Can't stop, oh, off the train
Train, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Can't stop, oh off the train
Train, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
