Lyrics   status: confirmed

Met a stranger on a train
He bumped right into me
Swear I didn't mean it
Swear it wasn't meant to be
Must've been a dream
From a thousand years ago
I swear I didn't mean it
Swear it wasn't meant to be
From the bottom of my heart
He was looking all over me
You take me and I'll take you
You kill him and I'll kill her
Swear it wasn't meant to be
Swear I didn't mean it
Kiss me, kiss me in the shadow of
Kiss me in the shadow of a doubt
Kiss me, kiss me in the shadow of
Kiss me in the shadow of a doubt

Must've been a dream
Just a dream I had [No No No]
Swear it was just a dream
Just a dream
A dream I had
Swear it
No no no no
Didn't do it, didn't do it
Maybe, maybe
Just a dream, just a dream
Just a... just a... no

Met a stranger on a train
He bumped right into me
Swear I didn't mean it
Swear it wasn't meant to be
Must've been a dream
From a thousand years ago
Kiss me... kiss me in the shadow of a doubt
Kiss me

NOTES:

• Lyrically inspired by the Alfred Hitchcock film "Strangers on a Train". "Shadow of a Doubt" is also a Hitchcock film.
• SY's second music video was for this song. It was directed by Kevin Kerslake and featured footage of Kim riding on a train to a forest-like backdrop.
• Kim spent a day doing vocal overdubs.
• Performed for the first time in 12 years at the Moore Theatre in Seattle on May 22nd, 1998, and became a set staple for the rest of the tour. It resurfaced again on the 2002 tour, played at most shows, and still pops up from time to time.
• Jim played guitar on this song while he was in the band.

• On "Live in Texas" - LIVE - 3:51

  Recorded live on 4/12/86 in Austin, Texas @ the Continental Club. First live performance!
