Something On

Your imagination's havin' puppies

It could be a video for new recruits

Just stare into the camera

And pretend that you got the flu

Or a dream of impossible vacations

And get all teary from the wind

Look as though you're standing at the station

Long after the train came in

And see how the space tautens

Like there's somethin' on

And you're never more hot then

When you've got somethin' on

Picture a century of water

Bury the pipeline guy right here

Kill the dream of possible vacations

With the sweep of a mappin' pioneer

Outside there's hectic action

The ice is coverin' the trees

And one of them is interconnectin'

With my Chevrolet Caprice

Black out to phantom power

And like there's nothin' on

And hammerin' the tower

And now there's nothin' on

We'll ride the monorail

Rockin' gently home on the trail

You want to show me the moon

I know you're standin' at the station

I know there's nothin' on

I know that alienation

I know the train's long gone

I can see how your face tautens

Like you've got somethin' on

It makes me feel just rotten

But you've got somethin' on
