Lyrics

The old red train to Austria Is driving me out of my mind A dozen tasks I left undone But my personal gravity I leave behind The train guard on the platform Shouts at the top of his lungs God damn, get on the train Today he behaves like a madman But I feel sane The city of Frankfurt lies in the fog It'll soon be gone as the train rides on And with it my suitcase Filled with all of my damage I'm a man with no baggage I'm a man with no baggage to claim The few folks in the train car They don't even spare a glance Holding onto their coffees Wishing their drama could Be a romance Behind the steamed-up windows A man seems to run for his life God damn open the door Today he's missing his drive But I feel fine The city of Frankfurt lies in the fog It'll soon be gone as the train rides on And with it my suitcase Filled with all of my damage I'm a man with no baggage I'm a man with no baggage to claim Her face tells she has won and has lost When she looks at me from the seat just across I answer her question why I'm on this train I'm on my way to fill my suitcase again The city of Frankfurt lies in the fog It'll soon be gone as the train rides on And with it my suitcase Filled with all of my damage I'm a man with no baggage I'm a man with no baggage to claim
