There's a train on a track Painted silver, blue and black Heading to Massachusetts And then it's coming back And it's entertaining by New Haven Once you've had yourself a drink or two Ooh ooh
All alone on the Acela Tell me baby where the hell are you? Acela Ooh ooh Acela
There's a girl on the train Leaning on a windowpane Reading People Magazine Just to help turn off her brain And I swear I caught her staring at me Maybe I've been staring at her too Ooh ooh Shot to hell on the Acela Just as well there's nothing else to do Acela Ooh ooh Acela
When they called All Aboard You were nowhere to be found Though you swore, you were sure You'd come with me out of town And I looked in all the stores I looked in Hudson News Searched for any sign of you But you had not left any clues I was so confused
What was I supposed to do? Now the world is a blur And the engine starts to purr And we're flying through Rhode Island The conductor calls me Sir For your information it's South Station At about 11:22 ooh ooh Got to get the next Acela Got to make my way back home to you Got to get the next Acela Got to get myself back home to you Acela Acela
