THE MOVE, Lyrics:
Wave the flag and stop the train.

Wave your flag and stop the train
stop the train
stop the train

Wave your flag and stop the train
stop the train
stop the train
someone just pull the little chain

Girl in my compartment lost her mind
stop the train
stop the train
tried to throw herself upon the line
I can't see you leaving her behind
she doesnt quite remember who I am
stop the train stop the train
committing suicide was more her plan
when she was attached to another man

Wave your flag and stop the train
stop the train
stop the train
someone just pull the little chain

Tried to tell the signal man in time
she still trying to jump out on the line
I can't see you leaving her behind
I can't figure out whats with her mind
I can't figure that shes out of time (?)
I see her reflection on the line

Stop the train
Stop the train

Gates and railroad stations passing me by
I can't see you leaving her behind

Wave your flag and stop the train
stop the train
stop the train

Wave your flag and stop the train
stop the train
stop the train
someone just pull the little chain

Please wave your flag and stop the train
You've gotta wave your flag and stop the train
