[Verse 1]
Scarlet your eyes, cover your face
If I could dance, or stay in this place

[Pre-Chorus 1]
I would be king, and you would be mine
I would be day, and you would be time

[Chorus]
Eggplant and caviar, for you
For you, for you, for you
Eggplant and caviar, for you

[Verse 2]
Hold up my wings, 'cause you are the sky
Paint me by numbers, and don't ask me why

[Pre-Chorus 2]
I am in bloom and you are perfume
And you are perfume and you are

[Chorus]
Eggplant and caviar, for you
For you, for you, for you
Eggplant and caviar, for you
For you, for you, for you
Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah

[Bridge]
Apple pie or apple seed, all the mouths that I must feed
Cold sheets or tumble weed, all the ones that I must need

[Pre-Chorus 3]
I would be king, and you would be mine
I would be nine, and you would be mother time

[Chorus]
Eggplant and caviar, for you
For you, for you, for you
Eggplant and caviar, for you
For you, for you, for you
Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah

[Bridge]
Apple pie or apple seed, all the mouths that I must feed
Cold sheets or tumble weed, all the ones that I must need

[Outro]
All the ones that I must need, all the ones that I must need
All the ones that I must need, all the ones that I must need

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.
