Lyrics

Awakened alone on a train
By a soft hand that brushed across my face
From some station platform she waves
I wave back, but I don't remember her name, no
My fake redhead hides in her garden
She had such harsh words about me but I never believed them
Dalila wants her chocolate fudge (Dalila)
Don't let anyone tell you that you talk too much
Angels drift in and away
Through your life on a slow train
The big-eyed painter bouncing German
She laughed so pure as we bowled over suave Frenchmen
My actress, with your baggage full of apologies (Marisol)
Why do I feel you've been abducted by Scientology? Oh, no
And Anna, my Brazilian princess,
I nearly died when you said I was blessed with true tenderness
Yeah, Laura, she may laugh at this (Laura)
What's life like when you're a sweet and creamy feminist?
Angels drift in and away
Through your life on a slow train
Before I got to New York Penn
I started talking with a couple of lesbian documentarians
We talked about our memories (They asked)
When I die, what would be the one I'd choose to take with me
If I had to choose, what would it be?
Even the last few years have had a couple goddamn good memories
Room 54, Hotel Jardi (Monica)
If I had to choose, I'd live with you in Room 54, eternally
Angels drift in and away
Through your life on a slow train
On a slow train
