Through the ticket office door
Ooh, waiting for the train that never comes
But don't tell me there's nothing coming
It's black and white don't try to hide
It's black and white don't try to hide
Ooh, waiting for the train that never comes
I hear the ghost train rumbling along the tracks
The station master's writing
Still no one wants to walk
It's black and white don't try to hide
Ooh, waiting for the train that never comes
A hundred cancellations
With a hat brim full of sand
For the gypsy caravan
Set them free and I hear them
Paid to keep an eye out
That drift along the platform
And I hear them
It's black and white don't try to hide
It's black and white, don't try
I hear the ghost train rumbling along the tracks
Keep the hungry children
It's black and white don't try to hide
You don't fool me
A dog chasing the tumbleweeds
It's black and white don't try to hide
It's black and white don't try to hide
From the skeletons in the back
Across the sandy floor
Set them free and I hear them
With a piece of orange chalk
It's black and white, don't try
Ooh, waiting for the train that never comes
It's black and white don't try to hide
Ooh, waiting for the train that never comes
A pocket full of posies
It's black and white don't try to hide
