Album: The Maria Dimension
Crushed in the corridor
Swimming in smoke
Broken leg; aching head
Tried polite conversation in braille, broken French
Though my friend chews his garlic
he's dead from his head to his sandles
I tear at the handle
and we came to a shuddering stop
and we topple like dominoes, swallowed
the hot tide of bread crumbs and cheap wine
The cavalry dived into action
with batons; knives
they gave me a fine
ripped the shirt off my back
threw my case on the tracks
saw it smashed to a fragmented mess
by the midnight express from Atlantis
oo-oo
A manifestation of pure liquid light
Never stops at the stations, it flies overnight
as we crawl in a circle; the sinks overflow
All the windows are enclosed
and the ape on my shoulder's overdosed
He rattles a can for some change
then he rolls around, over in pain
and wraps his legs around my ankles; I try to complain
All I want is a coffee and get off this train
oo-oo
