lyrics

Beautiful bloom
Wonder why we don’t get used to. . .
I get used to taking the B
when you’re on the Q.

Hey
Who do you think we are?
A regular train
pulling up to a regular man
in the summer rain?
We are.
So we see beauty only fast and far.
So we’ll see you soon where you are.

Beautiful bloom
Wonder why we never seem to get used to. . .
It’s like we’ve never seen you.
I get used to taking the B
while you’re on the Q.

Who? Who do you think we are?
A regular train
pulling up to a regular man
in the summer rain?
We are.
So we see your beauty only fast and far.
We see similarly your pain.

Blooming, blooming all round.
Every street you walk down,
he’s also walking down.
He’ll never even give a frown
at everything that’s gone wrong,
and everything has gone wrong now.
He’ll never even give a frown
at what’s gone wrong,
and everything that’s everything
has gone wrong now.

Every single tear
goes down the drain the drain the drain.
And every single fear
is just the same the same the same.
Will he receive us now?
Will we receive his non-frown?
Oh, every single tear
goes down the drain the drain the drain.
And every single fear
is just the same the same the same.
Is he ever seen to grieve?

Oh beautiful bloom,
all radiant brown and gray
over a sea of blue.
Is he, is he taking the blame?
Is he, is he taking the train?
Is he taking the train?  Now, is he walking up to me
. . . and you?
Walking up the blue.

Oh, is he taking the train?
Is he walking up to me and you?
oooo
beautiful bloom
Wonder why we don’t get used to. . .
Mmm, I get used to taking the B
when you’re on the Q.
