It Takes a Lot to Laugh, It Takes a Train to Cry - Yo La Tengo

Well, I ride on a mail train, baby

Can’t buy a thrill

Well, I been up all night

Leanin' on the windowsill

Well, if I die

On top of the hill

And if I don’t make it

You know my baby will

Don’t the moon look good, mama

Shining through the trees?

Don’t the brakeman look good, mama

Flaggin' down the «Double E?»

Don’t the sun look good

Goin' down over the sea?

But don’t my gal look fine

When she’s comin' after me?

Now the wintertime is coming

The windows are filled with frost

I went to tell everybody

But I could not get across

Well, I want to be your lover, baby

I don’t want to be your boss

Don’t say I never warned you

Whn your train gets lost
