About

What seems to be a paean to another deceased friend transitions to a song about struggling through existence. Coping with experiences of love, loss, and existential contemplation, all of this set in the great concrete jungle NYC.

Train Under Water Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You were born inside of a raindrop
I watched you falling to your death
And the sun, well, she could not save you
She'd fallen down too, now the streets are wet

[Verse 2]
Body of water, toxic and timeless
Atlantic Ocean, New York skyline
I always get lost when I leave the village
So I couldn't come meet you in Brooklyn last night

[Chorus 1]
But I sing glory from my lowest
And I will say peace to the people I meet
While the world waits for an explosion
That instant of life that wipes the slate clean

[Post-Chorus 1]
So don't be fooled, no, don't get lied to
Love was always cruel
And don't act strange, don't be a stranger
It happened to me, now it's happening to you
But if you take that train under water then we could talk it through

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
Well if I could tame all of my desires
Wait out the weather that howls in my brain
Because it seems that it's always changing
The wind's indecision, the sorrowful rain

[Verse 4]
Yeah, I was a postcard, I was a record
I was a camera until I went blind
And now I'm riding all over this island
Looking for something to open my eyes

[Chorus 2]
But I still sing glory from my high rise
And I will say thanks if you're pouring my drinks
While the world waits for an explosion
That moment in time when we'll be set free

[Post-Chorus 2]
So don't stay mad, just let some time pass
And in the morning you'll wake feeling new
And if I don't come back, I mean, if I get side tracked
It's only cause I wanted to
I'm keeping up with the moon on an all-night avenue

[Guitar Solo]
