Expresso Noir Songtext

the hot tide of bread crumbs and cheap wine
The cavalry dived into action
with batons; knives
they gave me a fine
ripped the shirt off my back
threw my case on the tracks
saw it smashed to a fragmented mess
by the midnight express from Atlantis
oo-oo

A manifestation of pure liquid light
Never stops at the stations, it flies overnight
as we crawl in a circle; the sinks overflow
All the windows are enclosed
and the ape on my shoulder's overdosed
He rattles a can for some change
then he rolls around, over in pain
and wraps his legs around my ankles; I try to complain
All I want is a coffee and get off this train
oo-oo
