Watermelon Man Chasing the Train

"Hello Friends"
i smiled, but half awake
the first one poured
i was in there shaving
minding my own business
and suddenly the clock struck
struck what?
it just struck
eventually the owner of this small hole in the wall
walked over and we talked
"Dizzy?"
"Nah man, good but overrated, i almost wish he was never discovered"
and on, and on like this
back and forth, things are going to be tough
buckle down
eventually, it was 4 drunks, sitting round the bar
smoking cigarettes indoors, extinguishing them in shot glasses
talking about nothing
four guys immersing themselves in themselves
eventually we left
and that night will never be the same
i saw the Watermelon Man, Chasing the Train,
he was leaning over the rail, mirror in hand
flowers crumpled in his back pocket and cats crawling
all over his back
his blood red blazer, with an ascot
how distraught i was, how self inflicting his wounds were
he jumped from the train, to runaway, and to follow tracks
i'm subject to the same intoxication you are
if you're going to be flip about it, lets just hold our voice
down for a minute, don't break the bargain, don't call it off
make a run for it man, hide behind the tree,
i forgot i wasn't dressed
in the end,
we're never dressed right, we're just making bargains
and hoping we ride this out
