DUVALL LYRICS - Racine

DUVALL LYRICS



"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 here there again

and my plastic world will melt into whatever

shape she holds me.

When she holds me

I am a man, not a part of this machine

by which I'm standing

here pretending, I'm not standing here,

standing here at all.
