lyrics

Too Many Trains

CHORUS:
Too many trains,
I've been on too many trains
Too many trains,
I've been on too many trains

It's 3 AM
I'm on the platform again
I've said my goodbyes
To all the parties I let behind

It's all routine
I'm here more than I'd like to be
But I won't complain
'Cause I know it won't make things change

CHORUS:
Too many trains,
I've been on too many trains
Too many trains,
I've been on too many trains

I hear it approach
Is my mind playing tricks on me?
But you never know
It's hard to listen when your half asleep

Doors open and close
If I am lucky I'll find a seat
Don't look at the crowd
I'd rather stare at my own two feet

CHORUS:
2x:
Too many trains,
I've been on too many trains
Too many trains,
I've been on too many trains

I get off, I get on
Another transfer, another stop
Have I gone the right way?
Or has it happened that I forgot

Where I needed to go
At this point anything's possible
I look at my map
I should have changed five stops ago

CHORUS:
Too many trains,
I've been on too many trains
Too many trains,
I've been on too many trains

It takes another hour
To fix my mistake
But now I'm back on track
Even though it's too late

End of the line
I walk myself back home
The noise is still in my mind
I guess that I'm not alone tonight

CHORUS:
2x:
Too many trains,
I've been on too many trains
Too many trains,
I've been on too many trains

The Telethons have existed in some form since 2004. They originally started as an antifolk-inspired duo in Flanders, NJ consisting of John Mulcahy (guitar/vocals) and Mark Deocampo (drums, yelling). After Deocampo's departure in 2009, the Telethons evolved into a power rock trio with the addition of John Van Atta (bass/vocals) and Doug Johnson (drums, yelling). ... more
