[Intro sample: Ed Paulsen]
That night, Hal and I are on this train, and we're ridin' up on top, cos it's a fairly nice night. And all of a sudden, there's a... a railroad dick with a flashlight that reaches a thousand miles, it seemed like. 'Cause I can't get in, we start moving around over the train, dropping, all that - and we can't get outta the way of this flash and all of a sudden... Bam! Bam! He starts shooting! And that I'm scared of, so I came up... from between the cars, and... he-- he's shooting bullets! You know, you hear 'em thud into those cars, bam, like this...
[Verse 1: Wayne Coyne]
Mom... I'm dying
Mom... I'm dying again
And I didn't notice, I didn't notice
I didn't notice, I didn't notice
[Verse 2: Wayne Coyne]
Mom... I love her
Mom... I love her again
And I didn't notice, I didn't notice
I didn't notice, I didn't notice
[Verse 3: Wayne Coyne]
Mom... I'm helpless
Mom... I'm helpless again
And I didn't notice, I didn't notice
I didn't notice, I didn't notice
Ahhhhhh
Ahhhhhh
Ahhhhhh
Ahhhhhh
