The man in the ring across from me Likes making time with strangers The girl right next to him breathes a little too hard from the rush Johnny Junk Runner is finally going home now And Betty Bag Lady is collecting coins for God knows what The baggage car is slipping off the track No one says a word except the drunk in back And he just rambles on about a boy in Hackensack Oh no I don't think I'm gonna sleep tonight Broadway Rae is looking way too thin and tired Mom's still glad she came home for holiday Rae’s washed up but she can still stick it right to Jimmy “You’re a mama’s boy, Jim, and everybody thinks you’re gay.” Hey hey hey hey The baggage car is slipping off the track No one says a word about Daddy’s six-pack And he just rambles on about The Teamsters and Iraq I don’t know but I don’t think I’m gonna sleep tonight Sister Rae’s so filled with rage, she got no room for food She’s just like Dad, she really loves him but she sure don’t like herself Brother Jim is shy like Mom, he and Rae just don’t get on Where I’m from is harder to explain Must be way back on the train The man on the couch across from me is snoring very loudly Rae is gone, you know she left in quite a huff Jim and me and Ma just sit around playing Palace Pretending everything’s OK like that’s enough Like that’s enough The baggage car is slipping off the track No one says a word although the hull’s about to crack The snow outside is virgin white The sky is starless bible black Oh no ain't no way I’m gonna sleep to tonight The baggage car is slipping way off track And no one says a word It’s either love or lunacy that keeps me coming back I don’t know but I don’t think I’m gonna sleep tonight
