lyrics

Riddle me this,
you're wrapped in such surprise, you're a shoe-in for the grandest prize,
you speak for god itself.
But, would you sleep with me?
It doesn't mean a thing.

So, catch a load of this,
one train leaves Santa Fe, midnight on the first of May,
the other one from Spain.
Would you be on it?
Would I be on it, waterlogged, and white?

I don't care about your secrets anymore.
As a matter of fact, they are mine.
I am the rail connector.
Would you follow me to the line?

Wouldn't you know,
I don't pine for your touch or even miss you all that much,
I don't miss anything, and it is so
ridiculous.
A ridiculous thing to be.

Hear me out,
You're only 22. You are my soulmate too but I don't care.
You can come and go as you please.
But, If you please to come,
I'll roll out the band for you.

And I'll paint you paper flowers though it's probably a waste of time.
I am the rail connector.
Would you follow me to the line?

As soon as it stops,
The mailbox comes unlocked, the letters fly like props,
but I'm not in this show.
I'm in the next one.
The next one after that.

I'll tell you what,
I'd die for you I'm sure. Seems like a lot for me to endure,
but don't go get your little heart worried,
I would just as soon not.
It depends on how it happens, really.

I'm on the back porch thinking about the way you move but
then I go back inside.
I am the rail connector.
Would you follow me to the line?

Your embrace is the grace of god but
I can wait, that's fine.
I am the rail connector.
Would you follow me to the line?
