Outside the Trains Don't Run On Time
Navigating Chaos: The Obsession with Order in 'Outside the Trains Don't Run On Time'
Lyrics
He's become nostalgic
He is experiencing a longing for the past.
Wants to own tomorrow
He desires to control the future.
Discipline, is his passion
His intense interest and focus are on maintaining order.
Now, he says there's none
He claims there is a lack of discipline now.
Outside the trains don't run on time
In the external world, things are not running according to schedule.
He believes it's no coincidence
He sees a pattern and believes it's not accidental.
He thinks sunblock will track him down
He thinks protective measures will pursue and control him.
Home, it's no castle
His home doesn't provide the security and comfort he desires.
He wants his wife to run, and fetch
He wants his wife to obediently fulfill his requests.
Order, he's obsessed with order, order
His fixation is on maintaining and imposing order.
Discipline, is his passion
His intense interest and focus remain on maintaining discipline.
Now, he says there's none

Now, he says there's none
