Racine

Plastic pieces falling down the chute

And I am counting them like trees

Everything’s green through the tinted window

Of the train up to Racine

In a few more hours I’ll be punching out

And going home but until then

I might look like I’m standing here

But I’m really on that train

To Racine where my true love stays

Racine just a few more days

And I’ll see her there again

In the darkness of my room

I close my eyes and drift into a dream

She is waiting for me at the station

She is beautiful

In a few more hours I’ll be waking up

And punching in but until then

I might look like I’m lying here

But I’m really on that train

To Racine where my true love stays

Racine just a few more days

And I’ll see her there again

I will see her there again and my plastic world

Will melt into whatever shape she molds me

When she holds me I’m a man

Not a part of this machine by which I’m standing here

Pretending I’m not standing here

I’m not standing here at all

Everything’s green through the tinted window

Of the train up to Racine

In a few more hours I’ll be punching out

And going home but until then

I might look like I’m standing here

But I’m really on that train

To Racine where my true love stays

Racine just a few more days

And I’ll see her there again

Talkin' about Racine where my true love stays

Racine just a few more days

And I’ll see her there again

I'll see her there again
