Flaky Trains Lyrics

He was never quite a winner

at the waiting game

but for a pretty girl

there’s always a rule he’d break

He gives me the ‘she’s coming’, ‘I know’, and ‘just see’

and he sits down with his dreams, and a bottle or three

You just can’t bring a blind man, to see

That it’s been three years on this platform

with your heart in a bag

waiting on a flaky train, to come

That’s never even left, my friend

And never will

Coz she’s never coming back

She’s never ever coming back

So you can drink yourself to dead

tell me she messed with your head

But mate, she ain’t, comin back

Well there’s reason to move on too

see the blonde there, dressed in blue

She’s got those eyes, the kind you like

and look, shes got a book, to boot

You could wait on the flaky trains.

Or you could, grab your heart and go

There’s a time for believing

and a time for leaving

But no time for flaky trains

as you watch your life go by

There’s a time for fighting

And a time for letting go

Hey that’s a good book, I’ve read it too

She says cheesy, but it’ll do

How about dinner, he says

you got any plans?

She says - fuck it, come on, lets go

I’ve been here forever

waiting on a flaky man

You could wait on the flaky trains

Or you could, grab your heart and go

There’s a time for believing

and a time for leaving

But no time for flaky trains

as you watch your life go by

Theres a time for fighting

And a time for letting go
