Train Overnight

I loaded the variables Like masterpieces from under a germ-led advance I saw your compa*s on a sea of frayed cable And aspects of vision afloat in a glance And outside the train overnight Floodlights on inexorable sights You loaded the variables Like acquisitions from under the noses entranced You heard some trumpets you thought were turntables And inklings to listen dispersed in a glance Outside the train overnight Contrite the whistle wails goodnight Apologizing like an ol' dictator might Of course we?re now traveling by plane If it?s not a Canada of a pain We?ll entertain the idea of train Outside the train overnight Bloodlines, wheel-burnished in moonlight A great candescent white skeleton of flight
