 One Flower Under A L.A. Freeway

Night Train To Paolo (Notte Treno Verso Paolo)


This night train I ride to you Paolo is empty at 3 A.M.
I see you in every window that rapidly passes by cracked and diffused in the cold steam of winter

This night train I ride to you Paolo is stronger than you because I am aboard packed with I love you
The rails shake like you in my arms as the black steel track looks back at me from the floor like your eyes

This night train I ride to you Paolo hisses and slows at a crossing stop
A decision must be made before the next journey begins
Should I get on, or get off?
Make your choice, or on this 3 A.M. night train I ride alone in abandonment.
