endless trains

Wuppertal to Koeln
I am speeding home to Fabian
and the boys who don't know
what to do with me
and away from the boy who only knows
one thing
Crammed into this commuter train
on hard blue seats
fake velous covering
Now changed to green
a week later
one more train one more
dying second class passenger
Maastricht to Aachen
Aachen to Horren
Horrem to Loevenich
my beloved Sbahn!
back to the men who don't
know what to do with me
and away from the boy
who truly knows only one thing
I've left my heart
somewhere over the swollen atlantic
don't bring it back, whatever you do
