Lyrics

[Verse 1]
He's become nostalgic!
Wants to own tomorrow!
Discipline is his passion!
Now, he says there's none
[Verse 2]
Outside the trains don't run on time
He believes it's no coincidence
He thinks some plot will drag him down
Home, it's no castle!
He wants his wife to run, and fetch!
Order! He's obsessed with order!
ORDER!
[Verse 3]
Discipline is his passion!
Now, he says there's none
Order, his obsession!
Order, his obsession!
Now, he says there's none
[Verse 4]
Outside the trains don't run on time
He believes it's no coincidence
He thinks some plot will drag him down
Home, it's no castle!
He wants his wife to run, and fetch!
ORDER!
The trains don't run on time!
[Verse 5]
Nostalgia, discipline, is his passion!
Now, he says there's none
[Verse 6]
Outside the trains don't run on time
