Train

Songwriter: Amund Björklund Espen Lind Pat Monahan

You're right, new things are great
They shine and they're never late
Don't break down on the interstate
You're right, new things are great
Good point, money ain't everything
But honey, having none sure stings
I love angels but I need kings
Good point, money ain't everything

I know that I can't buy
Happiness or love or time
But if anything could be mine
Then what I'd do is take fifth avenue
Niagra falls too
And maybe everything blue
And what I'd rather do
Is just stay right here with you

Laying on your futon, futon, futon
Laying on your futon, futon, futon
So much for being brave
When chivalry is aftershave
And what you drive is how you weigh in or out
So let's say hypothetically
That I own the baltic sea
To sink or swim you've got to ask please
Would I feel better if I had the keys?

I know that I can't buy
Happiness or love or time
But if anything could be mine
Then what I'd do is take fifth avenue
And what picasso drew
Or the mountains of peru
And what I'd rather do
Is just stay right here with you
Laying on your futon, futon, futon
Laying on your futon, futon, futon

So c'mon baby pass the grass
Is that remote underneath your ass
Cause I can't find it anywhere
Mmmm baby I should run downstairs
And grab us both a sweet coldstone
You want a cup or a waffle cone
Or hapiness or love or time
Or maybe I'll just take fifth avenue

I'll take the pyramids too
And maybe classes in kung fu or jiu jitsu
And what I'd rather do
Is just stay right here with you
Laying on your futon, futon, futon
Laying on your futon, futon, futon
Laying on your futon, futon, futon
Laying on your futon, futon, futon

Train is an American rock band from San Francisco, formed in 1993. The band currently consists of Patrick Monahan (lead vocals), Luis Maldonado (guitar), Hector Maldonado (bass, vocals), Drew Shoals (drums), Jerry Becker (keyboards, guitar), Sakai Smith (backup vocals), and Nikita Houston (backup vocals).

With a lineup that included original members Monahan, Rob Hotchkiss, Jimmy Stafford, Scott Underwood, and Charlie Colin, the band achieved mainstream success with their debut album Train, which was released in 1998 with the hit “Meet Virginia”. Train’s 2001 album, Drops of Jupiter contained the lead single “Drops of Jupiter (Tell Me)”, which won two Grammy Awards in 2002. The album was certified double platinum in the United States and Canada and remains the band’s best-selling album to date.

Train’s third studio album, My Private Nation, released in 2003, was certified platinum in the United States with the hit “Calling All Angels”. Following the departures of Hotchkiss and Colin, the band released their fourth album, For Me, It’s You in 2006, with Brandon Bush (keyboards) and Johnny Colt (bass). Despite a generally positive reception from critics, the album was commercially unsuccessful. Because of this, Train went on a two-year hiatus from recording any new music.
