lyrics

(instrumental, neon)

There are four trains after the one I said was last
You know this, you have a phone, you checked it too
Neither of us mentioned it, which is the whole romance
(the whole romance)
A shared lie is more intimate than a shared truth

The station clock is honest (is honest)
Everything else about tonight is not

Last train excuse
(last train)
The most useful sentence in this city
Last train excuse
Let's both keep pretending it works

You walked me to a platform that is not on your way
Twenty-two minutes out of your direction, I counted
Neither of us mentioned that either, obviously
(obviously)
This is a very efficient way to say something enormous

(saxophone solo, 8 bars)
Next week you'll miss the last train too.
Same station. Same lie. See you there.

Last train excuse
(last train)
The most useful sentence in this city
Last train excuse
Let's both keep pretending it works

(last train...)
