Syncopation Train Songtext
von Richard Clapton

On the syncopation train
Listen to the wheels
Syncopating, syncopation
You′ve got wings upon your heels
On the syncopation train
On the syncopation train
Go

There's sparks beneath the wheels
Like an ice pick thrust into
40,000 volts of power
And the syncopation train
Is a-running through my life
Like the lines running through my head
And I syncopate in rhyme
To the syncopation train
Go-go


On the syncopation train
Listen to the wheels
Syncopating, syncopation
You′ve got wings upon your heels
On the syncopation train
Go

I went to see the doctor
I tried to describe my pain
But he sat and tapped his feet in time
To the syncopation train
To the syncopation train
Yeah, the syncopation train

I said, "Hey Doc, hey, what's happening?"
He said, "No, let me ask you"
Then he looked at me with a cryptic grin
He said, "Where'd you get those dancing shoes?"
"Where′d you get those dancing shoes?"

On the syncopation train
On the syncopation train

Syncopation train
