Jumping Someone Else’s Train Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Don't say what you mean, you might spoil your face
If you walk in the crowd, you won't leave any trace
It's always the same
You're jumping someone else's train
[Verse 2]
It won't take you long to learn the new smile
You'll have to adapt or you'll be out of style
It's always the same
You're jumping someone else's train
[Chorus]
If you pick up on it quick
You can say you were there
Again and again and again
You're jumping someone else's train
[Bridge]
It's the latest wave that you've been craving for
The old ideal was getting such a bore
Now you're back in line
Going not quite as far but in half the time
Everyone's happy, they're finally all the same
'Cause everyone's jumping everybody else's train
[Refrain]
Jumping someone else's train
Jumping someone else's train
Jumping someone else's train
