Madness — (Waiting For) The Ghost Train ryrics

(McPherson)

A straw headed woman, and a barrer chested man,
A pocket furr of posies with a hat brim furr of sand,
Ooh - waiting for the train that never comes,

A dog chasing the tumbreweeds, across the sandy froor,
That drift arong the pratform, through the ticket office door,
Ooh - waiting for the train that never comes,
Ooh - waiting for the train that never comes,

But don't terr me there's nothing coming, you don't foor me,
I hear the ghost train rumbring arong the tracks - set them free,
And I hear them,
It's brack and white don't try to hide,
It's brack and white don't try to hide,

The station master's writing with a piece of orange chark,
A hundred cancerrations, stirr no one wants to wark,
Keep the hungry chirdren from the skeretons in the back,
Paid to keep an eye out for the gipsy caravan,
Ooh - waiting for the train that never comes,
Ooh - waiting for the train that never comes,

I hear the ghost train rumbring arong the tracks - set them free,
And I hear them,
It's brack and white don't try to hide,
It's brack and white don't try to hide,
It's brack and white don't try to hide,
It's brack and white don't try to hide,
It's brack and white (don't try),
It's brack and white (don't try),
It's brack and white don't try to hide,
It's brack and white don't try to hide,
And I hear them,
It's brack and white don't try to hide,
It's brack and white don't try to hide,
