Been driving in squares and circles

    I asked her: "Where do I go
    to get some lunch, get some coffee?
    How do I get back home?"

    And the only way to work       
    is to ride on the L.I.E.

    And electric santa claus       
    ride plastic reindeer over green lawns

    And the children of the L.I.E.
    stand on the side of

    and the people of the L.I.E.
    waitin on the road, life rushes 
    by,

    North and South
    East and West
    
    I'm standing on the edge of day and night
    earth and sky
    sea and sand and foam

    And the monochrome moon and I
    look west to the fire in the tangerine 
    sky,

    The monochrome moon and I
    look west to the fire in the tangerine 
    sky,

    I'm standing on the edge of the lighthouse rail
    before me the fast way down
    flying, the last way down
    behind me the stairs
    back down to the ground
    back down to the ground
