The Rachel Capers

from Agnosticaust by Struwwelpeter

/

lyrics

She's traveling the blue line
She doesn't know I'm sitting next to her
She doesn't know that we have met before
She wouldn't want to think back on that evening
She changes at Rayner's Lane
She takes the purple down to Preston Road
I should've got off back at West Harrow
But once again I'm risking everything

It's all too easy
No-one can see me
Setting myself free
(Just ask for Rachel)
I'm never leaving
Steady my breathing
I've got a feeling
(Just ask for Rachel)

It was a night just like this
A club that specialised in amnesia
She had a brooch shaped like a swastika
I guess I really should learn when to shut up
The outside air stings my face
She's making sure she'll make it back in time
To what, it sure ain't no business of mine
Tonight coincidence just isn't enough

Simpler times with no designs
We ruled the world
Honest lines and valentines
All blowing out the window

(Just ask for Rachel...)

I can't see anymore
We've both been here before
We've both been in this weather
We don't belong together

I'm suddenly wide awake
Suddenly see myself for what I am
For what I'm doing and what I have planned
I don't believe I have the tenacity
I'm rooted right on the spot
I can't just back away when I'm so close
The fact remains that nobody here knows
I'll change my tactics so imperceptibly

She has a right to remember the truth
She has a mind to recover her youth
She has a chance to regain everything
She has a goal, she is persevering
She'll be the one, I see it in her eyes
She'll be the one, I know my own disguise
She'll show you all one day

(Just ask for Rachel...)
