Electric Train Lyrics

In the beginning I had nothing to do

I was all alone in a big empty room

So I decided to build myself an electric train

It took six days time, things were never the same

Monday (monday) I built the track

It looked straight but it came right back

'Cause it curved so slow if you leave from here

You go far as you can go and you'll be back in a year

Monday, tuesday, line the railway

Wednesday, thursday, make it straight

Friday, saturday, watch out that day

Saturday could be a big mistake

Monday, tuesday, line the railway

Wednesday, thursday, make it straight

Friday, saturday, watch out for saturday

That day could be a big mistake

Friday (friday) I took my train

I shined it, I greased it, I shined it again

I set the groove of the wheels on the rail

But it only moved when I pushed it myself

So by saturday evening I wasn't alone

'Cause I took it and gave it a mind of it's own

It'd grease it's own wheels, it'd make it's own way

I said to myself

"this train is gonna run 'til the judgment day."

Monday, tuesday, line the railway

Wednesday, thursday, make it straight

Friday, saturday, watch out that day

Saturday could be a big mistake

Monday, tuesday, line the railway

Wednesday, thursday, make it straight

Friday, saturday, watch out for saturday

That day could be a big mistake

Sunday was my day of the rest, I sat back and watched it go

It went backwards and forwards, it went too fast

It heated up the track 'til it started to glow

And pretty soon the rails were fried

My electric train jumped the track

And there it was, it lay on it's side

All twisted and burnt black (black, black)

Monday, tuesday, line the railway

Wednesday, thursday, you gotta make it straight

Friday, saturday, next time for saturday

That day was a big mistake (that was a big mistake)

Monday, tuesday, line the railway

Wednesday, thursday, you gotta make it straight

Friday, saturday, next time for saturday

That day was a big mistake (that was a big mistake)

I'll make it again, I've worked out the kinks

You can't win with a train that thinks

Monday, tuesday, line the railway

Wednesday, thursday, you gotta make it straight [fade]
