On the night train
Watch the light's pas
Through a blackboard
Window darkly
And I think I see her eyes to
And I sink in to her dark room
Where the white girls don't stand a chance
In their pink ropes lost in arms
And they vanish on the night train
A hand rises
Jacket falls
Someone near me steals my thoughts
Swift departures
Tiered faces
Tiered suitcase
Opened doors
But Solace doesn't want to answer
And Solace doesn't know the question
Oh, Solace's always on the bright side of the matter
And Solace is at the window
Looking through the empty street lights
Looking past the shadow gardens
Searching in the ghostly sky lines
Where the white boys don't stand a chance
And the night train rushes on
She says
Oh, your lips are sweet
But a taste of defeat
Lingers in my mouth
And I don't want them all to find out
No, I don't want them all to find out
And the night train
Cuts it's way through
In the meshes
Of the rail net
Threads of romance
Hanging loosely
In the silence
Of the moon light
Ride the past
And Solace doesn't want to answer
And Solace doesn't know the question
Oh, Solace's always on the bright side of the matter
And Solace is at the window
Looking through the empty street lights
Looking past the shadow gardens
Searching in the ghostly sky lines
It was a sleepless night in a luminous house of glass
It was a sleepless night in a luminous house of glass
It was a sleepless night in a luminous house of brass
