Waiting' for a Train Songtext

[Intro is spoken over someone speaking in French and English:]
(I'm an alien from another sphere. The thing I like about the earth is the range of colors -- fantastic to mundane, brilliant to dull. As I was penetrating the ozone, I came perchance to notice the orange peel-like quality of the light playing upon the same the ocean. I gotta go right now; someone is videotaping me in my spaceship.)
All around water tank
Just a-waiting' for a train
A thousand miles away from home
Just a-waiting' in the rain
I walked up to a brakeman
Just to give him a line of talk
He said, if you got money,
I'll see that you don't walk
