To the tune of “MacArthur Park” with apologies to Jimmy Webb.
BART was never waiting for us, dear We ran to catch the train But we missed it, our last chance
MacArthur BART is frightening in the dark All the lights they flicker on and off Someone left their backpack on the train I don’t think that I should take it Might be full or drugs or makeup Better leave it for someone else to find Oh, no
I can still remember better days The trains ran on time Never missed a connection The tracks, like gleaming rails to better lands Our destinations only a few short stops away
MacArthur BART is frightening in the dark Hey I think that guy just flipped me off He looks like he’s lived through better days And he might be a little dangerous Might try to take our stuff and hang us Better leave him and look the other way Oh, no
MacArthur’s BART is melting in the dark I think my acid finally hit Can you see that time is stopping too? Hey its really not so scary It’s actually ordinary It’s just a matter of your point of view Oh, no, oh
MacArthur BART (Filk)
To the tune of “MacArthur Park” with apologies to Jimmy Webb.
BART was never waiting for us, dear
We ran to catch the train
But we missed it, our last chance
MacArthur BART is frightening in the dark
All the lights they flicker on and off
Someone left their backpack on the train
I don’t think that I should take it
Might be full or drugs or makeup
Better leave it for someone else to find
Oh, no
I can still remember better days
The trains ran on time
Never missed a connection
The tracks, like gleaming rails to better lands
Our destinations only a few short stops away
MacArthur BART is frightening in the dark
Hey I think that guy just flipped me off
He looks like he’s lived through better days
And he might be a little dangerous
Might try to take our stuff and hang us
Better leave him and look the other way
Oh, no
MacArthur’s BART is melting in the dark
I think my acid finally hit
Can you see that time is stopping too?
Hey its really not so scary
It’s actually ordinary
It’s just a matter of your point of view
Oh, no, oh
