Raymond And The Wires
My eyes have seen the trolleybus
On her new matic tires
Vamping down the high road
Drinking from the wise
My eyes have seen the trolleybus
Her rivets and her wheels
Sinking electricity
I wonder how that feels
I wonder
My eyes have seen the trolleybus
In 1964
I caught one with my father
We climbed through the backdoor
We couldnt sit upstairs
Because my father's lover is back
He spoke to me behind the glass
He was an lonesome dad
My eyes have seen the trolleybus
The silent way she moves
You missed the love you've never had
The needle slips the grooves
I ever knew my father close
Although I took him in
He travels 'round, a-signing off
Because everywhere I've been
I wonder
I wonder
My eyes have seen the trolley bus
