I ride this train
In the windswept afternoon
And the sunlight warms the faces
Of the faithless who are waiting
I ride this train
But I need a conversation
Mozambique or was it Veronique?
How about you pick the subject
And I'll listen to you

(Chorus:)
People tell me that I feel too much
But I don't care, I don't care
People tell me that I need too much
But I don't care, no I don't care

I ride this train
In a dreamlike state of mind
Through a field of frozen memories
Imagination racing
I ride this train
But I need to make connections
No I wasn't staring, I was only trying
To get some substance, to get some meaning

(Repeat Chorus)
People tell me that I feel too much
Oh no 'cause I don't care, no I just don't care anymore
As I ride this train

People tell me that I feel too much
But I don't care, no I don't care
People tell me that I need too much
But I don't care, no I don't care
People tell me that I feel too much
Oh no 'cause I don't care, no I just don't care anymore
As I ride this train
As I ride this train (People tell me that I feel too much)
As I ride this train
Can you ride this train? (People tell me that I need too much)
As I ride this train
As I ride this train
(People tell me that I feel too much)
(People tell me that I need too much)

Savage Garden

Savage Garden is Darren Hayes and Daniel Jones—the Australian pop duo who rose to mainstream prominence in the late ‘90s with their hits “Truly Madly Deeply” and “To the Moon and Back.”

They are named for a concept in Anne Rice’s “The Vampire Chronicles” books, of which Darren was a fan. Lestat calls beauty a savage garden, and Marius later turns the phrase back on him to describe “the mind of man”.

They split in 2001, as Daniel did not enjoy the spotlight, and Darren went on to some success as a solo act.
