Tragically Hip Train Overnight Lyrics

i loaded the variables like masterpieces
from under the germ-led advance
i saw your compass on a sea of frayed cable
and aspects of vision afloat in a glance

and outside the train overnight
floodlights on inexorable sights

you loaded the variables like acquisitions
from under the noses entranced
you heard some trumpets you thought were turntables
and inklings to listen dispersed in a glance

outside the train overnight
contrite, the whistle wails goodnight
apologizing like an ol' dictator might

of course we're now travelling by plane
if it's not a Canada of a pain
we'll entertain the idea of train

outside the train overnight
bloodlines wheel-burnished in moonlight
a great candescent white skeleton of flight
