Go south to north, south to north.
Go south to north then north to south.
Go ahead and take that train north
As it sings a lullaby to you on the iron tracks.
To the house that you always hated
That train you take will just take you north;
It’ll take you back and forth, forth and back.
The destination will always stay the same
To the house on the corner street
That your father mortgages
That was caused by a divorce
Is always going to be up north.
So take your usual seat on those carriages,
That continues to rock you to sleep,
That drowns out all the damages;
No-one will ever hear you weep.
The train carols loud, but the house is louder.
It’ll whistle to you, it acts like a warning;
That train you take will only take you north.
So why are you expecting a different destination?
