When Rita Takes the 'A' Train Songtext
von Marc Jordan

I′ll be on time
She'll make me wait
The clock will chime
Just like in all American movies

Light me up a Cuban rocket
It′s 2am and they're still laughing in Beijing

I wish this pain would just go away
I wish that dogs had wings
And all this was for something
For the lonely and the brave
My sword is always stuck inside the stone
When Rita takes the A train
When Rita takes the A train home

Goodnight Irene comes through the wall
Your favorite hits from the 60s on vinyl records
Just down the hall


Can't kick this melancholy
It′s 6am and they′re still dancing in Berlin

I wish this pain would just go away
I wish that dogs had wings
And all this was for something
For the lonely and the brave
My sword is always stuck inside the stone
When Rita takes the A train
When Rita takes the A train home

Can't kick this melancholy
It′s 6am and they're still laughing in Beijing

I wish this pain would just go away
I wish that dogs had wings
And all this was for something
For the lonely and the brave
My sword is always stuck inside the stone
When Rita takes the A train
When Rita takes the A train home
Yeah, Rita
