Lyrics
I had every offer
Every conceivable glimpse
Lawyers and managers
Whores and hoods and pimps
But you know me, baby
I just don't compromise
So I'm standing in the queue
No destination in mind
I scouted every barroom
Every dance hall, every door
Sprouted up like like a mushroom
Slept down upon your floor
But I did not find myself
Behind your rosy eyes
So I rested on my laurels
Waved that spirit train goodbye
Someday I'll write a story
A long one I expect
About my former glory
Nearly scare myself to death
Standing in my platforms
Waiting on the 12:05
I put my hand down on the track
I don't feel no vibration
I put my bags back on my back
I don't feel no vibration
You wrote my name in lights
I wrote your name in sand
I soared just like a kite
Then I slipped right through your hands
And you know I know it, baby
There ain't no consolation prize
So I'm standing in the queue
No destination in mind
Someday I'll write a story
A long one I expect
About my former glory
Nearly scare myself to death
Standing in my platforms
Waiting on the 12:05
I put my hand down on the track
I don't feel no vibration
I put my bags back on my back
I don't feel no vibration
I put my hand down on the track
I don't feel no vibration
I put my bags back on my back
I don't feel no vibration
