[Intro]

            


[Verse 1]

          
The last train

             
 is nearly due

          
, the undergro

#      
und is closing

 soon,
          
And in the dar

             
k deserted sta

             
tion, restless

   
 in anticipati

on,
           
A man waits in

                 
 the shadows.


[Verse 2]

            
His restless e

/           
yes leap and s

             
cratch, at all

          
 that they can

 
 touch or catc

h,
          
And hidden dee

             
p within his p

             
ocket, safe wi

     
thin his silen

t socket,
          
He holds a col

                  
oured crayon.


[Verse 3]

            
Now from the t

/           
unnel's stony 

             
womb, the carr

          
iage rides to 


meet the groom

,
          
And opens wide

             
 and welcome d

             
oors, but he h

      
esitates, then

 withdraws
          
Deeper in the 

         
shadows.


[Bridge]

            
And the train 

              
is gone sudden

       
ly, on wheels 

clicking silen

tly
             
Like a gently 

          
tapping litany

           
, and he holds

            
 his crayon ro

sary
             
Tighter in his

        
 hand.


[Verse 4]

            
Now from his p

/           
ocket quick he

              
 flashes, the 

         
crayon on the 


wall he slashe

s,
          
Deep upon the 

             
advertising, a

         
 single-worded

 
 poem comprise

d of
         
Four letters.

      


[Verse 5]

             
And his heart 

          
is laughing, s

       
creaming, poun

ding, 
         
The poem acros

      
s the tracks r

ebounding,
          
Shadowed by th

             
e exit light, 

             
his legs take 

    
their ascendin

g flight
           
To seek the br

            
east of darkne

         
ss and be suck

             
led by the nig

    
ht, oooh...
