This track was not included on the vinyl version of "Stretch That Skull Cover and Smile".

lyrics

I am a fool who waits in line
With my suitcase in my hand
To board the Noreaster Train
Outbound Penn Station
Where will she spit us out
Somewhere off beyond the bridges
I can't smell the ocean air
Past the Tappan Zee
Does ocean air remind you of me?
Who's gonna answer your door
When I come knocking
I can see the kitchen light shine
Down on your new friend
Does he talk like I do
Will he make you laugh too
I stood where he does
And I stared straight into you
Why would I do this to myself now?
And in the coming weeks you'll
Feel it getting colder
I'll make a mess of your life
And leave before it's over
Somewhere in the platform night
The late train pushes to the light
And as they punch my ticket
I open up my eyes
To see fluorescent lights
And my home station
Everyone here is a stranger permanently
What I'd give to try it all again
I know that nothing's easy
Or simple with you and me
And as I turn to leave you
There's just cicadas humming
