Last Train Out of Sydney Lyrics

The last train out of town hall station leaves at 1:45 in the morning

I jump in and grab a seat just before they give the fifteen minute warning

Two boys walk by chomping on their late night burritos

Talking about the girls they almost had

Least they've got each other tonight and they tried

Maybe next Saturday won't go so bad

Women that look like my mother

Sleeping on the seats

Kids without a home it looks seem

For a minute off the streets

A teenager writes graffiti on the wall

But we're too tired to say anything at all

Let her words be heard

On the last train out of Sydney

I couldn't be more happy

I didn't have to catch the bus tonight

If you've got three dollars fifty

You can take a ride

Through other people's lives

On the last train out of Sydney

The darkness outside looks peaceful though who knows just how friendly

The houses lights dot the flat land like stars at night in one of those old cowboy movies

I heard working class man in a convenience store today

And it's still stuck in my head

The graffiti is starting to dry I must sound tired as I let out a sigh

But it's just I feel so content

The baby that'd stopped crying starts crying again

His mum wakes up unready for the second wind

And I wonder if when the baby thinks it's with an Australian accent.

On the last train out of Sydney

I couldn't be more happy

I didn't have to catch the bus tonight

If you've got three dollars fifty

You can take a ride

Through other people's lives

On the last train out of Sydney

We pull up to Korea town this is my stop my stop just a few blocks walk to my bed

I tell myself no one'll bother me if I play my ipod and sing along in my head

Too bad I can't get a bite to eat

Nothing's open quite this late

I can smell the moon cakes

Baking for the next day

On the last train out of Sydney

I couldn't be more happy

I didn't have to catch the bus tonight

If you've got three dollars fifty

You can take a ride

Through other people's lives

On the last train out of Sydney

You can take a ride

Through other people's lives

On the last train out of Sydney
