This morning on my train ride through Minnesota the train slid to a stop and something about the stop woke me up, but I was tired and fell back to sleep.
I woke up again about a half hour later and realized the train wasn’t moving and that we were in the same tree lined stretch of track.
Word came through, eventually someone had been out on the tracks and our train hit them.
It had been such a beautiful morning.

I’m on a train
I don’t know where I am
I don’t know what is coming up around the next bend
life
does not get much better then this.

Guess it’s time to see a little of the world.
I hope I find a monster or two along the way.

I cross my fingers every time that you walk by
(- that you walk by)
I put the whammy on you with my hypnotic eye
But you’re oblivious, don’t take me serious
So there’s one last thing that I can try
My magic 8 ball tells me just what I should do
(- what I should do)
I wanna ask it whether I should be in love with you
Will it tell me yes or no?
(- yes or no?)
Will it tell me stop or go?
I close my eyes, hold my breath and it says…
Decidedly so, decidedly so, decidedly so
Decidedly so, decidedly so, decidedly so
My four-leaf clover is going right into the trash
My rabbit’s foot my voodoo doll will follow fast
I’ll step on every crack, you know I won’t look back
Because now my lucky streak is gonna last
