Disappearing Lyrics

I can hear a whistle blowing
That's my only way of knowing
Somewhere in the distance
There is probably a train
I can hear a church bell ring
That church bell doesn't mean a thing
What I've been hearing lately
I would like you to explain

[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricenter.com/e65072-mighty_mighty_bosstones~disappearing_lyrics.html ]
The first that I heard and it never occurred
To me what I'd be hearing
The last of me that you're likely to see
You'll see that I am disappearing

I listened now with opened eyes
I heard half hearted alibis
There may have been a few things
That I might have said myself
I could hear the whistle blowing
I wonder where that train is going
I'm sure before it gets to there
That I'll be somewhere else

The first that I heard and it never occurred
To me what I'd be hearing
The last of me that you're likely to see
You'll see that I am disappearing

I've heard all of it all before
The bells the whistles and I'm sure
That it won't be the last time
That I hear the church or train
There's a first for almost everything
Whistles blow and bells will ring
This could be the last time
And I won't be back again

The first that I heard and it never occurred
To me what I'd be hearing
The last of me that you're likely to see
You'll see that I am disappearing

The first that I heard and it never occurred
To me what I'd be hearing
The last of me that you're likely to see
You'll see that I am disappearing
