Phish - Train Song Lyrics






All the way home we felt we had a chance
To review the coulds before we were born
And to invite a new game of can'ts

Absorbed in the clouds a voice from afar said
"With the right device you can make a pattern grow
Or you can tune up your car"

So we stayed on the train admiring the time
As the lights of the city drew near
We drank a little wine

They were blurry and green outer space in between
With a depth and a form unclear
Then we saw it up ahead

A flickering lantern lit up on the tracks
In the rugs that had covered up the bridge
From the banks of a river to the bed
Of the valley upstream to the place we live

The glass on the lantern cast back the sight
Of a drive-in movie we drove by below
We saw where we'd been in the pictures within
Projecting all the places we would go
So we follow the scene and flowed up your steps
To a smooth wooden floor in a trance
The train whistle melody woved through the trees
And in through the door to signal the turns of a dance

    no i don't like them either i looked them up because i hear about them like all the time. most recently in the book Between a Rock and a Hard Place. so i'm no fucking troll, however i must express my dislike for the band and my lack of understanding for their EXTREME popularity i mean i understand why anyone likes a band, or why some ppl like justin bieber. but when it is the only album and band you listen to while hiking no i don't think they are that good..

    whew, glad i got that off my chest!

    H.... J....

    Heather Johnson opinions will be opinions

    H.... J....

    I respect everyone's opinion, because everyone has different taste. However I don't understand why people who don't like phish are so deep in their hatred of them. Their is only love or hate, no middle ground

    H.... J....

    Yeah it's very odd indeed.

    Growing up, my older brother loved Phish and I didn’t like him, so by association I didn’t like Phish. I heard this song (train song) as a warmup at a concert and it took me about 3 years trying to find out who sang it irl. To my astonishment it was from a band I hated by name only. I gave them a chance and bought an album called “Rift”. It blew me away. Never got into the lifestyle but holy shit the music.....it’s really, really good! God Bless you all and good luck on your life journeys!
