Team 2

So I walked under a bus  
I got hit by a **train**  
Keep falling in love  
which is kinda the same  
I’ve sunk out at sea  
Crashed my car, gone insane  
And it felt so good  
I wanna do it again

**Team 2**

_Well on a **train** I met a dame,  
She rather handsome we kinda looked the same.  
She was pretty from New York City,  
I’m walkin’ down that old fair lane.  
I’m in heat I’m in love,  
But I just couldn’t tell her so._

Well, there’s a song by Ry Cooder from the _Performance_ soundtrack called _Long Dead Train_, but I don’t remember any of the words. Does that still count?

OK, first of all, what’s the time limit before the other team gets a point in this game? It’s apparently not 2 hours anymore, so what is it?

Second,

Team 2 -

How Long Blues, The Grateful Dead

I hate that train, train  
Took my baby away  
Left me standin’  
How long, how long?

I’d be in favor of a 1 hour time limit. Considering the word simply has to be used in the song this will be pretty darn easy. A 1 hour limit will at least keep the words changing. Ya know, keep it interesting.
