Echo Base Lyrics

Belladonna '81
Georgie's Opera made its dawn
Three-act play in snowsuits, laser to boot
I tripped over buried steps
You can detect ancient trees
We must weather fire for the Snow Queen

She is just a night train
She is just a night train
She is just a night train away
She is just a night train
Rebel, rebel night train
She is just a night train away

Back and forth into the sky
Scattered eyes probe tundra nights
Calling out winter station, is anyone home?
Feathers haughty, pomp and sash
Rebel nose and gypsy laugh
Holding out Echo Base
Father in clouds

She is just a night train
She is just a night train
She is just a night train away
She is just a night train
Rebel, rebel night train
She is just a night train away
She's just night
She's just night



I can't sell this uniform
I'm all too alive in it
Hide in nomadic castles of duct tape and twine
Mega phonies heed the call
Laser stares and cold night joints
I've been in the papers
Now I can't try
Now

She is just a night train
She is just a night train
She is just a night train away
She is just a night train
Rebel, rebel night train
She is just a night train away
She is just a night train
She is just a night train
She is just a night train away
She is just a night train
Rebel, rebel night train
She is just a night train away

Ice cold daughter, ice cold
Ice cold daughter, ice cold
Ice cold daughter, ice cold
Ice cold daughter, ice cold
Ice cold daughter, ice cold
Ice cold daughter, ice cold
Ice cold daughter, ice cold
She is just a night train away
She is just a night train away
She is just a night train away
