We took the regional
To a tropical
Island waterpark
When the sky turned dark
Just saw a man shoot up
Someone squatting in a cup
A guy laughing at clouds
By a grey plattenbau
In our minds were steel bands
People clapping their hands
Limbo dancing in time
But there were leaves on the line
The exotic ride
Through the city’s backside
Didn’t feel so Iggy Pop
When the train just stopped
At a lonely platform
For an oncoming storm
If we haven’t made it yet
At least we still got wet
