Raymond and the Wires Lyrics
My eyes have seen the trolley bus
On her pneumatic tyres
Vamping down the highroad
Drinking from the wires
My eyes have seen the trolley bus
Her rivets and her wheels
Sinking electricity
I wonder how that feels
I wonder
My eyes have seen the trolley bus
In 1964
I caught one with my father
We climbed through the back door
We couldn't sit upstairs because
My father's leg was bad
He spoke to me behind the glass
He was a lonesome dad
My eyes have seen the trolley bus
The silent way she moves
You miss the love you never had
The needle skips the grooves
I never knew my father close
Although I took him in
He travels 'round beside me now
He goes everywhere I've been
I wonder
I wonder
On her pneumatic tyres
Vamping down the highroad
Drinking from the wires
My eyes have seen the trolley bus
Her rivets and her wheels
Sinking electricity
I wonder how that feels
I wonder
My eyes have seen the trolley bus
In 1964
I caught one with my father
We climbed through the back door
We couldn't sit upstairs because
My father's leg was bad
He spoke to me behind the glass
He was a lonesome dad
My eyes have seen the trolley bus
The silent way she moves
You miss the love you never had
The needle skips the grooves
I never knew my father close
Although I took him in
He travels 'round beside me now
He goes everywhere I've been
I wonder
I wonder
My eyes have seen the trolley bus
