lyrics

Won't you sit next to me on the train?
I’m afraid of my thoughts in the silence
I’ll happily soak up every word you decide
I should hear about your favorite clients
The woman who wrinkled her nose every time
She was faced with a difficult question,
And the man could not get it through his thick skull
That he was being sued for a reason

Don’t you go leaving
Before I can know you
And no, I most certainly don’t need to know your name
Don’t you go leaving;
I’ve just begun to love you
I hope you’ll find peace for yourself after riding this train

Lean in real close and I’ll tell you about
The time I punched a republican
In a brief lapse of judgment, I actually thought
My fists would stand in for reason
Of course, I was quite irreconcilably wrong
Look; my arms look like cheap plastic bendy straws
So he chuckled and clocked me so hard, I ended up
Sprawled on the floor of the bar

Now, don’t you go leaping
Conclusions deserve reasoning
Unlikely as it is, that dude could’ve been my friend
96th; I’ve got to switch to the local now
And I appreciate your love, but I don’t know how
To close on a statement that justifies this as the end

about

Queen Cabbage New York, New York

Originating in late 2017 at SUNY Purchase, Queen Cabbage is a folky art rock band dedicated to synthesizing silliness, seriousness, life, death, the beautiful, and the grotesque into earnest, powerful, emotionally immediate music for eager feet to dance and stumble to, for thoughtful hearts to beat and break to, and—most importantly—for authority figures to disapprove of.
