“So with Tigers on Trains, I guess it’s kind of about leaving home, and leaving friends.”
Carter Vail in a conversation
[Verse 1]
If you're heading for the coast
Hearing voices up ahead you
Who am I to let you go
You're a wrecking ball
Can you kiss me slowly?
We can turn the headlights off
All our friends & all their voices
Falling silent in the car
And do you remember?
The fog was lifting
[Chorus]
Tigers on trains, watching you go
Head in the glass, fogging up the window
And you're never gonna come back
Not much for you here
You're never gonna come back
It's alright, It's alright, it's alright
[Verse 2]
Now you're heading for the show
All your memories through a broken telecaster
Would you be here in the Fall
And a long December
Pull me closer
Say this time is for the ghosts
And I'm buried in the rocks, dear
If you're leaving let me know
Is it in the papers?
Is it in your bloodstream?
Oh, Oh, Oh
[Chorus]
Tigers on trains, watching you go
Head in the glass, fogging up the window
And you're never gonna come back
Not much for you here
You're never gonna come back
It's alright, It's alright, it's alright
[Outro]
Oh, It's alright
Oh, It's alright
Oh, It's alright
Oh, It's alright
