They say ships are steady, safe, secure
They say they can take you anywhere
Faraway to distant shores.
They say it’s romantic to travel there.
They say planes can soar, sweep and glide
They say they can travel far and wide
Crossing oceans to foreign parts.
They say it’s a quick and painless ride.
They say trains are sturdy, strong and straight
They say most trains are never late
Crossing bridges to other lands
They say they always pull their weight.
I’m not so sure that I agree
I’m not so sure that they’re for me
Going away from where you are.
It’s all a step too big, you see.
