Lyrics

Train pulls in
Smells of smoke and gin
A child runs across the platform
Sunlight pours through the windows
In a golden hue
As Clara steps onto the train
She says, "I'm tired of giving my heart to you
I'm tired of living my life for you
I won't live your life no more"
Sun shone today
Clara's world was gray
For the colors have faded
And she can't paint no more
Train pulled away
Left the station 5 AM
And then she doesn't even look back
For she won't wait no more
She says, "I'm tired of painting a world for you
And I'm tired of waiting every day for you
I won't wait for you no more"
At first his love was sweet and kind
Then he wanted to own her body, control her mind
And she let him for a time
Now she won't smile no more
Clara was as lovely as could be
But his harsh fists chipped away at her beauty
And she would avoid him like a shadow of the night
But now she won't hide no more
She says, "I'm tired of crying because of you
And I'm tired of the fear that comes with the thought of you
I won't be afraid no more"
Clara sheds her joy with each clack of the train
No more laughter, no one left to blame
But she is not sorry
For she won't speak of it no more
She arrives at her home no more the same
Old companions no longer remain
But she leaves the front door open
For she won't be alone no moreWith a smile on his face
And you suddenly fear
He's got a plan to dominate the human race
And then he says to you
"Gee, your popcorn looks awfully good
Can I have a bite?"
And oh by the way, did you know
Dogs can smell one out of one million particles?
That boy's probably my little brother
And if you see a little boy
Dressed like 1948
And he looks so darn dashing
You wonder who's his lucky date
And when he gets to the dance floor
There'll be no stopping that boy
And then later on he will say
"How many root beers did you have tonight?
I had five."
And then he won't sleep at all that night
That boy's probably my little brother
And if you see a little boy
Entertaining a crowd of ten
He's telling them jokes
Trying to hang with the men
And then he says to you
With a gleam in his eye
Using his large vocabulary
He'll say
"I was particularly hysterical tonight, wasn't I?"
That boy's probably my little brother
He's probably my little brother
Probably my little brother
