A straw headed woman   And a barrel chested man   A pocket full of posies   With a hat brim full of sand      Ooh, waiting for the train that never comes      A dog chasing the tumbleweeds   Across the sandy floor   That drift along the platform   Through the ticket office door      Ooh, waiting for the train that never comes   Ooh, waiting for the train that never comes      But don't tell me there's nothing coming   You don't fool me   I hear the ghost train rumbling along the tracks   Set them free and I hear them      It's black and white don't try to hide   It's black and white don't try to hide      The station master's writing   With a piece of orange chalk   A hundred cancellations   Still no one wants to walk      Keep the hungry children   From the skeletons in the back   Paid to keep an eye out   For the gypsy caravan      Ooh, waiting for the train that never comes   Ooh, waiting for the train that never comes      I hear the ghost train rumbling along the tracks   Set them free and I hear them      It's black and white don't try to hide   It's black and white don't try to hide   It's black and white don't try to hide   It's black and white don't try to hide      It's black and white, don't try   It's black and white, don't try   It's black and white don't try to hide   It's black and white don't try to hide      And I hear them   It's black and white don't try to hide   It's black and white don't try to hide
