East Richmond Songtext
von Trash & The Treasures

Spend my time doing nothing
I′m doing nothing with my time
Smoking cigarettes and reading newspapers
Cryptic crossword shipwrecks my hungover mind
Feeling witty, talking bullshit
Guess it's a sunny day outside
Scraping change to buy baked beans
Carpet looks like a beast forsaken by its God

That train ain′t stopping East Richmond
That express is is passing right on through
That train ain't stopping East Richmond
That train ain't got time for me or you


Saturday night I was waiting tables
Monday I′ll be drinking stolen table wine
Sitting by the river fishing,
Contemplating plots I never hatched
Dutch girl she′s a backpacker
She's up for fun but she don′t want to get attached
Back yards covered up in concrete
Still I gotta pull the weeds between the cracks

That train ain't stopping East Richmond
That express is is passing right on through
That train ain′t stopping East Richmond
That train ain't got time for me or you

Gonna leave you here I have to go now
Telling you I bought my final shout
Quit the smokes, met a girl, I got a job now
You know I took my piercing out
It′ll take some time to make me something
Gotta do something with my time
Though I know I'll never get my bond back
I know I've got a train to catch

That train ain′t stopping East Richmond
That express is is passing right on through
That train ain′t stopping East Richmond
That train ain't got time for me or you


That train ain′t stopping East Richmond
That express is is passing right on through
That train ain't stopping East Richmond
That train ain′t got time for me and you
