Lyrics
On a train bound for New York City
A girl gets on wearing young and pretty
The bags she wears are too heavy for her years
She hits the seat beside me with a tissue full of tears
Aware of the place where the ring used to be
Where it wrapped her in warmth in a sweet memory
I wonder where she's coming from and where she's going to
God only knows why we do what we do
CHORUS: On a paper train it doesn't matter where you go
You're just gettin' out of here
On a paper train wearing thinner by the minute
Running year to year
The edge of your life cuts you like knife
Closer to the vein
On a paper train
On a train bound to where I'm going
Where that is there ain't no way of knowing
Could be New York or somewhere on the way
Just know that where I am is where I ain't gonna stay
You're ridin' away on a train you can't see
Sure it's transportation but temporary
You make your dicisions but ultimately fate decides
Sooner or later everyone rides
(Chorus)
