Getting Off

Shame, shame, commuter train
Packing in a thousand people
Smoke, sweat, getting set
To make the morning run

Nearing station, conversation
Sort of like a chest vibration
Chest heaving, eyes bleeding
From the cigarettes

Slip, slip, tightened grip
Seem to be accelerating
Maybe later read the paper
If I get the chance

My, my, kinda sly
Way the people push on by
Stamp, tramp on my feet
Like they weren't there

Tell me, what am I doing here?
Help me find another place
If I can find a place that's green and clear
Lord, I'll get myself out of this race
I'm gonna get myself out of this race
Oh, I'm getting out

I'm gonna get myself out of this race
Oh yeah
Oh, let me off this train
