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 a train 
 Leaning on a window pane 
 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 come 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 at all the stars 
 I looked in huts and 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 hits 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)
