[Verse 1]
Now don't look down
'Cause you might just see what's in the middle
The rumour has it you've been looking for me
But there ain't much left of me to see, yeah

[Verse 2]
Now don't go down, no, no
Don't put your face in the place of a beetle
Your lip is about to shine
For a fee you'll be happy to be, mine

[Bridge 1]
Look at yourself child

[Pre-Chorus]
You're the wife of a life of the street that will beat on your back
'Til you wed on a track for a train in the rain, and it's coming fast

[Chorus]
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh train
Yeah

[Verse 3]
You go so fast
It's a race for the place in the running
Well it won't take long 'til it brings you down
No, I'm just a wasting, just a wasting time
Just a wasting time in the big town

[Bridge 1]
Look at yourself child

[Chorus]
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh train

[Bridge 2]
Mmm-mm-mm-mmm, mmm-mm-mm-mmm
Mmm-mm-mm-mmm, mmm-mm-mm-mmm

[Verse 4]
Well, it's about a quarter to four
And arms are sore and hands are sore
Sixteen and I've been on down and I hold your neck
And the back of your leg starts to drag down my
Starts to drag down my street, here it goes again
Girl I want it yeah, yeah

[Bridge 3]
Look at yourself girl
Look at myself boy
Look at yourself girl
Look at yourself girl
Look at yourself world, look at your-

[Bridge 1]
Look at yourself child

[Pre-Chorus]
You're the wife of a life of the street that will beat on your back
'Til you wed on a track for a train in the rain, and it's coming fast

[Chorus]
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh train

[Chorus]
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh train

[Outro]
You're the wife of a life of the street that will beat on your back
'Til you wed on a track for a train in the rain
And it's coming fast

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.
