By Rail
Kedeng Kedeng, Kedeng Kedeng, Kedeng Kedeng
Oo Oo
Kedeng Kedeng, Kedeng Kedeng, Kedeng Kedeng
Oo Oo
And miles of rails fly underneath me
I'm on my way to you, because I'm crazy about you
Left early this morning, at the crack of dawn
And waited for 10 minutes for the train
Because there was some delay, and my god, I hate that.
Because now I get to spend 10 minutes less with you
Kedeng Kedeng, Kedeng Kedeng, Kedeng Kedeng
Oo Oo
Kedeng Kedeng, Kedeng Kedeng, Kedeng Kedeng
Oo Oo
The train keeps rushing on from station to station
I visit places where I've never been
Suddenly a cart rattles, and a lady asks: "coffee, tea?"
I am a little thirsty, yet I say "no"
Because the train is slowing down while my heartrate is
increasing
I look out the window to see if she's standing there
Kedeng Kedeng, Kedeng Kedeng, Kedeng Kedeng
Oo Oo
Kedeng Kedeng, Kedeng Kedeng, Kedeng Kedeng
Oo Oo
I get off the train, look around me, and for a moment I feel alone
Because I don't see her yet
But from behind a pillar her smiling face appears
And in my mind everything seems to slow down
And I run towards her, she comes towards me
And behind us the train leaves, because the train has to go on
Kedeng Kedeng, Kedeng Kedeng, Kedeng Kedeng
Oo Oo
Kedeng Kedeng, Kedeng Kedeng, Kedeng Kedeng
Oo Oo
And I stay and sleep with you
Because you live at the railway
And in the night, oo la la, the rhythm goes on
Kedeng Kedeng, Kedeng Kedeng, Kedeng Kedeng
Oo Oo
Kedeng Kedeng, Kedeng Kedeng, Kedeng Kedeng
Oo Oo
Kedeng Kedeng, Kedeng Kedeng, Kedeng Kedeng
Oo Oo
Kedeng Kedeng, Kedeng Kedeng, Kedeng Kedeng
Oo Oo
Kedeng Kedeng, Kedeng Kedeng, Kedeng Kedeng
Oo Oo

"Kedeng Kedeng, Oe Oe" is how Dutch people replicate the sound of a train, with "Kedeng, kedeng" being the sound of the wheels, and "oo oo" being the sound of the steam whistle.
