Intro :
Looking at the world through the s unset in your eyes,
Traveling the train through cl ear Moroccan s kies
Ducks, and pigs, and chickens call, an imal carpet wall to wall
American ladies five-foot tall in blue.
Sweeping cobwebs from the ed ges of my mind,
Had to get away to see w hat we could find.
Hope the days that lie ahead br ing us back to where they've led
Listen not to what's been said to y ou.
Wouldn't you know we're r iding on the M arrakesh Exp ress.
Wouldn't you know we're r iding on the Marrakesh Expr essly,
Taking me to M arrake sh.
All abo ard th e tr ain. All abo ard t he t rain.
I've been saving all my m oney just to take you there.
I smell the garden in your h air.
Take the train from Casabla nca going s outh,
Blowing smoke rings from the co rners of my mouth.
Colored cottons hang in the air, ch arming cobras in the square.
Striped djellebas we can wear at h ome.
Well, let me hear ya now.
W ouldn't you know we're ri ding on the Ma rrakesh Expr ess.
Wouldn't you know we're r iding on the Marrakesh Expr essly,
Taking me to M arrake sh.
All abo ard th e tr ain. All abo ard t he t rain.
