Stereopathetic Soulmanure
Waitin' For A Train
(song written by Jimmie Rodgers and performed by Ken)

[the following intro is spoken over someone speaking in French
and English, perhaps giving a French lesson]:

I'm an alien from another sphere. The thing I like about the
earth is the range of colours -- fantastic to mundane; brilliant
to dull. As I was penetrating the ozone, I c.. perchanced to
notice the orange peel-like quality of the light playing upon the
s.. the ocean. I gotta go right now; someone is videotaping me
in my spaceship.

All around a water tank
Just a-waitin' for a train
A thousand miles away from home
Just a-waitin' in the rain
I walked up to a breakman
Just to give him a line of talk
He said, if you got money,
I'll see that you don't walk
I haven't got a nickel,
not a penny for to show
Get off, get off, you railroad bum
And he slammed the boxcar door
They let me off in Texas
A state I dearly love
The moon 'n' stars above me... and what else?
