"Big Station" lyrics - ALEJANDRO ESCOVEDO

I thought I was the man of steel
It nearly did me in
They hosed me down with kryptonite
Called my next of kin
Dreamed I was your man at last
The train was stalled on the track
We couldn't make it go
We couldn't make it go

U-oh oh big station
U-oh oh big station

If we didn't turn back now
And face what we did
A moment of relief for a lifetime of regret
Yeah you call me by my middle name
But your voice it didn't sound the same
You got to meet me down

Down in the
U-oh oh big station
U-oh oh big station

I got the B-string, Dr. Weary's gonna sing
Someone give them a shot of novicane
I saw 'em on fire
Yeah he's on the ashtray
Someone help Dr. Weary's gonna sing

U-oh oh big station
U-oh oh big station

They come from South Dakota
Yeah they come from Belvedere
It don't matter where they're from
Somehow they made it here
Yeah I stood behind the barricade
No one ever called my name
I was stranded along

Along the
U-oh oh big station
U-oh oh big station
