Put me on a train mama
This place just aint the same no more
Put me on a train mama
I'm leavin' today
I don't wanna watch the world spinnin'
I wanna be spinnin' with it
Put me on a train mama
I'm leavin today
Cause i got the fever that's for sure
And knowin' i can get it makes me want it more
Mama i just want you to know that i'm gonna be fine
Lord i know it's the chance that i take
But i know you've forgiven the mistakes that i've made
There's a life out there and it's gonna be mine
Put me on a train mama
Cause i can't take this pain no more
Put me on a train mama
I'm leavin today
And there's a world that's out there waiting
And i know that it's the chance i'm takin
Put me on a train mama
I'm leavin today
Cause i got the fever that's for sure
And knowin' i can get it makes me want it more
Mama i just want you to know that i'm gonna be fine
Lord i know it's the chance that i take
But i know you've forgiven the mistakes that i've made
There's a life out there and it's gonna be mine
God knows how long i'll be gone
But maybe one day a train will bring me home
Put me on a train mama
Put me on a train mama
Oh put me on a train mama
I'm leavin today
Cause i got the fever that's for sure
And knowin' i can get it makes me want it more
Mama i just want you to know that i'm gonna be fine
Lord i know it's the chance that i take
But i know you've forgiven the mistakes that i've made
There's a life out there and it's gonna be mine

A quarter after two
Sittin' in my car, watchin'
Waitin' on a train
Ninety seven flat cars
Loaded down with troop, trucks and tanks
Rollin' by
I'm twenty one
And I'm scared as hell
I quit school
I was healthy as a horse
Because of all that
I'll be the first one to die in a war
The whole damn town was sleepin'
Dreamin' the same dream
Radio was playin'
Roger McWilliams singin'
"To each and every thing
There's a time and a season"
I'm twenty one
And I'm scared as hell
I quit school
I was healthy as a horse
Because of all that
I'll be the first one to die in a war
Yes I have no right to say
We all die anyway
An' I'd just like to know
Where does my time go?
What for? What for?
A quarter after two
Sittin' in my car, watchin'
Waitin' on a train
Ninety seven flat cars
Loaded down with troop, trucks and tanks

Rain falling from the skies
Like lonely tears through misty eyes
Rain streaming down my face
Brings memories my heart cannot erase
Here alone in all my sorrows
Waiting for the clouds to hurry by
Praying that a new tomorrow
Will put the sun back in the sky
Rain wash away my tears
So when that sun appears
I’ll see my love again

Train
I've just taken a seat on the train
I walked through busy streets down a shadowy lane
I just bought my ticket for the ride
There's no turning back now, no matter what I decide
Steel body moves fast, hinges pounding against the ground
I sink into my seat and I pray for it to speed up
While I wish it would slow down
My body quivers with anticipation for what lies ahead
Wood is thrown onto the fire that cries out to be fed
Mist shrouds the dawn, so ahead I cannot see
The train it moves ever forward into the misty sea
There's so many faces
But most of the time I feel so alone
There's so many places
Will I ever stop and know my own home
I know I'm gonna get there
But I'm not sure when
Nor do I know where I'm going
So I won't pretend
I cannot see beyond the horizon
Nor around the bend
The train it moves ever forward
Without a seeming end
Out of one window, I saw rain
I looked through the other, and I felt the warm suns rays
The wind, it gently blew across my weary shoulder
And time whispered in my ear
"Child, you're just gonna keep getting older"
But I've done nothing more
Than take a seat on this here, train
Yet my life turned upside down and only
Only the little things remain

";Hold on to my arm,";
She said, strung out on the floor.
";I've been knocked uptight.
I've been locked outside.
I can't go on anymore.";
Cut off the circulation.
Don't let it go to my head too quick.
Let the feeling grow.
Just let it flow.
Gonna' make it last.
Gonna' make it last.
I'm a hurricane
And the blood flows free from an open vein.
This is the last time:
Never at home again.
Oh! I know that train you're riding on. (Oh-oh-oh.)
It's sixteen coaches long.
My baby's on that train and gone.
Can't slow it. (Gone.)
You know it. (Gone.)
It's coming down.
";Hold on,"; she said.
";I've been knocked uptight
And locked outside.
I can't go on.
I can't go on.";
I'm a hurricane
And the blood flows free from a broken vein.
This is the last time,
Never at home again.
Oh! I know that train you're riding on. (Oh-oh-oh)
It's sixteen coaches long.
My baby's on that train and gone.
Can't slow it. (Gone.)
You know it. (Gone.)
It's coming down.
The future is open wide.
The future is open wide.
The future is open wide.
(Gone.)
Can't slow it. (Gone.)
You know it. (Gone.)
It's coming down.
Runaway train. (Run.)
Runaway train. (Run.)
Runaway train. (Run.)
Runaway train. (Run.)
Runaway train. (Run.)

Writers: Leo Sayer & David Courtney
running through my life
like a river, like a song
train keeps pushing me
right back to the place where I belong...
back along the tracks
fly a million years
right across my path
train moves on ringing in my ears...
come on board
come on board
train, oh train, take me back, again
I remember, I remember, take me back
train, oh train, the journey ends and starts again
I remember, I remember, I remember
I've been up all night trying to get this down
now I'm hallucinating
staring at the wall look what I'm creating...
look at the clock I'm twelve hours old
so many more remain
way up ahead I know I see a train...
come on board
come on board
train, oh train, all those memories, all over again
I remember, I remember, take me back
train, oh train, the journey ends and starts again
I remember, I remember, I remember
waited on the station all day
just to see a glimpse of the morning train
just to see the wheels turning round
blowing up steam,
see what I mean,
you see what I mean...

Oh, feel like a train
Set it up, tear it down
Another show to go, another town
Another place, another face
Another crowd of people, tank of diesel
Flying J truck stop
35 guys, a rolling jukebox
Gotta rock, can?t stop
Gonna keep on pushing through the Rockies
Nothing?s gonna stop me
Feeling like a train, pulling at the strain
Always got an uphill track with the world on my back
Pouring on the coal, feel a little old
Gotta suck it up, gotta be strong
Gotta be tough, gotta move on, on, on, on
It?s all I?ve ever known, feeling like a train, feeling like a train
Tick tock, time flies
Another year in gear passing by
Another song, another station
Back and forth across the nation
Some day, some way
Gonna jump these tracks and never look back
Gonna find me one tomorrow
With my dead hand on the throttle
Feeling like a train, pulling at the strain
Always got an uphill track with the world on my back
Pouring on the coal, feel a little old
Gotta suck it up, gotta be strong
Gotta be tough, gotta move on, on, on, on
It?s all I?ve ever known, feeling like a train
Feeling like a train, pulling at the strain
Always got an uphill track with the world on my back
Pouring on the coal, feel a little old
Gotta suck it up, gotta be strong
Gotta be tough, gotta move on, on, on, on
It?s all I?ve ever known, feeling like a train, feeling like a train
Feeling like a train
Feeling like a train
Feeling like a train

My inspiration note the sympathy
They've taken everything you want and they left you all alone
My setting sun, self appointed,
I am a fraud
You are the martyr
It's decided and I owe you several worlds I can tell you...
Rat in the sewer, scraps they left behind
Once their visionary, and they all have robbed you blind
Your broken records playing for
None fabricate song
Amputated creative tongue
You sing on and on and
I can tell you why
I'm bringing you down,
Calling you out,
Taking your shield
It's easier now
Years have been kind
Distance between
Has given hind sight
I jumped a train
Your tragedy so easy to read,
Is bitter envy
They're reaping all the lowly benefits
You missed the train they stole
And you've never...
I'm burning you down,
Calling you out,
Taking your shield
It's easier now
Years have been kind
Distance between has given hind sight

Like dinners after funerals.
Like street lights that forgot to shine.
Like ashtrays on a windy night.
Like old books and their perfect smell.
Like a train that's off the tracks,
you wonder if you're running late.

Where were you? We faded out the other day
Make up new wounds to count and contemplate
Hear that lonesome whistle blowin'
Just for you and you alone
Lightning speed to nowhere it's your lucky day
Can't believe the nerve of that proceeding verse
Worse than where you are is that you got there first
Sure you can reverse
Turn a blessing to a curse
Lightning train to nowhere in the universe
Stressing every syllable of your complaint
Can't they tell the difference
Between passengers and freight?
Cursing the conductor then
We try our luck again
Lightning speed to nowhere but oblivion
Pictures play in place all day
They never leave their wall
They stand against it
And when they talk
They do so it can hear
For they know
That their wall has ears
All ears, all ears
Swatting at the smoke rings in the dining car
Speculation station is that where we are?
Plenty Of Conjecture
Would you like to give a lecture?
Lightning train to anywhere but very far
Lightning Speed to nowhere but obscurity
Only destination is the scenery
Hear that lonesome whistle blowin'
Just for you and you alone

Memories wake you up
you don't know how to escape from them
You're turning your brain round
you cry, cry from a dream
Sadness and hate
you commemorate where runs the...
train, train, train
Her letter on the table
you know her dismals
you don't understand the contiguities
only and only one word

Swing your partner round and kick 'em down
Drag him by the hair across the floor
She's a roped-up car collision
She's an open heart incision
She's in every tab of acid that I score
When that train comes to your door
When I come marching home from war
When that train comes to your door
Will you still want
Will you still want me
A qua du li Ha n i
Hi ga yo la a
Wi da u ga ta
Ah ti ne ha g a
Ye gogo a da la du di
Ni hi a da ge
Yu di i go hi da
Dancing in a barroom down in Gary Indiana
I can hear them loudly laughing
Sipping vodka by the cantor
In this dream I'm having
There's an unpaid balance standing
It's my old friend Horace Manning and he wants her
There's that gentleman beside her
As they undress by the fire
Then he puts his hand inside her
Then he nooooo...

Life seen through the eyes of an agarchrist
So cold
So blind
So naieve
The truth beyond, will not be found
Deceiving masks, that's what's all around
So cold
So blind
Like a train, leading to nowhere
Reflections of death, but why?
Forced to choose another path

Sunshine feelin' static through your body you don't know what's going on
Then a creep crawl the mind bends bet it all then cash in and be gone
Cause it's side corners and street lights caught in this haze and I here them callin'
I hear that train just callin', callin' me home
I hear that train just callin', callin' me home
I hear that train just callin', callin' me home
I had a dream that everything wasn't the way it seemed
Martin was the President and Malcolm the VP
Bush wore a rubber and W was never born
We never bombed Nam and never went to Desert Storm
Little babies was birthed to ladies and grown men
Instead of gangsters and bitches not knowing were to begin
Because we born into this world to die trained to kill steal and lie
Raised to sin just to survive framed cause if we caught we fry
Somebody save us they said the saviors comin'
But if he aint got nuclear weapons he should keep on runnin'
Cause they bombin' the palaces churches and temples and mosques
We got the freedom of speech until yo ass get shot
Where's the train
I hear that train just callin', callin' me home
I hear that train just callin', callin' me home
I hear that train just callin' callin' me home
Sometimes the candlelight is brighter than the sunshine darkness is long gone
Diggin' my soul still not knowing what's going on
Four in the morning a thousand miles away from home
Glassy and tight eyes reddish and off white oberserving the ice
Swimming in my cup until it's right cause it's midnight I'm in the devils daughter and it's so tight
I'm doin' it till I'm gone midnight I'm in the devils daughter and it's so tight
I'm doin it till I'm gone
I hear the train just callin', callin' me home
I hear the train just callin', callin' me home

They grew up in the shadow of the armory
Land of freedom right out their back door
Brothers near the middle of the century
One of them had to go and fight the war
Somebody had to go and fight the war
And the train goes...
So he left upon the rails toward Ohiopyle
Youghiogheny flows around the bend
He told his mother someday he'd be coming home
The medals shine and the stars never end
But nobody counts on scars that never mend
And the train goes...
Cast iron wheels go hungry in the fields
Searching for that silver line a long, long way to go
Cast iron hearts go hungry for spare parts
Searching for a hand to hold on late night radio
He flew missions out of London into Germany
In letters she read once then locked away
With a picture of him smiling at the armory
The colors in that flag all washed away
It's just black and white and a hundred shades of gray
And the train goes...
That's the way it goes

I was riding on this train
looking out the back door on where I had been
thinking about the sun and your golden skin
your golden skin
I'm looking back
out onto where I'm coming from
out into that big white sun
out into that big white sun
big white sun
I was feeling kind of strange
chasing these tracks to a room by the lake
I heard your song and it took me away
I wanted to stay
I'm looking back
out onto where I'm coming from
out into that big white sun
out into that big white sun
big white sun

there's a lot of trouble
but no-one wants to see
tell me could I be the one who's waiting patiently
this age of information kills you byte by byte
and still you stand there screaming with your arms open wide
sometimes you feel like catching this train
you know it will never stop at your station
it seems you're late again
talk to me in a language I haven't spoken for years
show me places I haven't been this distance makes me weak
this age of information kills me byte by byte

Twenty-five years and my life is still
Trying to get up that great big hill of hope
For a destination
And I realized quickly when I knew I should
That the world was made up of this brotherhood of man
For whatever that means
And so I cry sometimes
When I'm lying in bed
Just to get it all out
What's in my head
And I am feeling a little peculiar
And so I wake in the morning
And I step outside
And I take a deep breath and I get real high
And I scream at the top of my lungs
What's going on?
And I say, hey hey hey hey
I said hey, what's going on?
ooh, ooh ooh
and I try, oh my god do I try
I try all the time, in this institution
And I pray, oh my god do I pray
I pray every single day
For a revolution
And so I cry sometimes
When I'm lying in bed
Just to get it all out
What's in my head
And I am feeling a little peculiar
And so I wake in the morning
And I step outside
And I take a deep breath and I get real high
And I scream at the top of my lungs
What's going on?
And I say, hey hey hey hey
I said hey, what's going on?
Twenty-five years and my life is still
Trying to get up that great big hill of hope
For a destination

I wanna talk 2 U 'bout this love affair
Is it really true that U don't care?
Seems like every day U grow farther away
Tell me what can I say 2 make U stay
Cuz if U really don't love me anymore
(If U don't love me)
I just don't know what 2 say
There's a train that's leavin' in the morning (Train)
That will take U straight 2 Santa Fe (All the way) (Train)
If U feel this thing we got just can't go on (Train)
Then I won't stand in your way
I won't stand in your way
I won't stand in your way, no, no
I'm so in love with U, U're all I wanna be
Whenever U go away, babe, U take a part of me
(Oh, yes U do)
A man's gotta do what he gotta do
But remember, babe, wherever U go, I'm with U
Cuz I need ya
[Chorus:]
If U really don't love me anymore (If U don't love me)
I just don't know what 2 say
There's a train that's leavin' in the mornin' (Train)

If U feel this thing we got just can't go on (Train)
I won't stand in your way [x3]

Plastic brain scar, I want laser
I'm your chauffeur, with high
Gloss highs
Take you where you want
Can't stop, oh, off the train
Train yeh, yeh, yeh, yeh
Wolf lady sucks my brain
Apricot sunrise came
L.A. nights
Just roll in
Can't stop, oh, off the train
Train, yeh, yeh, yeh, yeh
Can't stop, oh, off the train
Train yeh, yeh, yeh, yeh
Nasal douche, poolside line
Soft lit tan, what's your sign?
Hold my hand
Just roll in
Can't stop, oh, off the train
Train yeh, yeh, yeh, yeh
Can't stop, oh, off the train
Train yeh, yeh, yeh, yeh
Can't stop, oh, off the train
Train yeh, yeh, yeh, yeh
Can't stop, oh, off the train

A foreign land gone - on my way
A dark track moving - I won´t stay
There´s something inside crying in the brain
Crying for a shelter - crying insane
Say say say that you don´t care
Trying to decieve me if you dare
I´m into something deeper now
Listen close - listen close
Look in my eyes - look into the dark sky
Another one goes and another one dies
I could never live if I told you I stay
We could change our ways or be strangers on the same
train
Living on a promise - living on a lie
Lying in my bed like a stranger inside
I can go where noone goes
Into the dark - into something unknown
Stare in silence on the ruins of me
Coming out pain - violently
Let it come - let it be done
One more kiss and then the train is gone
Look in my eyes - look into the dark sky
Another one goes and another one dies
I could never live if I told you I stay
We could change our ways or be strangers on the same

Making sense of all the hidden facts
Hit and run that's the way...?
Sickened by the...?
Getting nowhere
Getting nowhere
How can you pretend to give a fuck?
How can you pretend to give a fuck?
If nothing seems to matter at all
............................................
............................................
............................................
............................................?
Find another way
Show me
Show me
Find another way
Show me
Show me
So far away
So far away
When I think...?
So far away
When I think...?
It's..................?
......carry me away show me my.....? x 5

Well the sun's coming up, and the dust it is clearing
Down the line I am hearing there's a train coming in
I left my home and my girl, tried to find someplace better
oh but I never could forget her, so let this train take me home
CHORUS:
Oh please my darling forgive what I've done
I've found nothing, just some big lonely world
So take me back please my lover, take me back please my lover
Took a train to discover I cannot be without you girl
I was young, I was green
Prone to foolish decisions
At what I thought was ambition and a will to be free
yeah but freedom's just some word
Don't believe has a meaning
So on this train I am leaving trying to get me back home
CHORUS
So pour another cup of coffee
Pretty soon I'll be leaving
I ain't done petty thieving
Hitching rides and drinking beer
And I'm so tired of having friends
Just to keep out of prison
Oh well this life really isn't all I hoped it would be
CHORUS

I'm sitting in a train going down there, going where, going to no-land
I'm sitting in a train going down there, going where, going to no-land
I'm sitting in a train going down there, going where, going to no-land
I'm sitting in a train going down there, going where, going to no-land
I'm spending days, over and over and over and over again
I go through the days, over and over and over and over and over and over again
Sitting in a train
I'm sitting in a train going down there, going where, going to no-land
I'm sitting in a train going down there, going where, going to no-land
I'm sitting in a train going down there, going where, going to no-land
I'm sitting in a train going down there, going where, going to no-land
Trees pass me by and take away a piece of me
Take me away within, deep down inside of me
Deep down, deep down, inside of me
I'm sitting in a train going down there, going where, going to no-land
I'm sitting in a train going down there, going where, going to no-land
It rides through a thousand dreams
Je vois, je vois, je vois le monde
Je regarde tout
Dans la vitesse moi, je suis partout
Je vois
Je regarde le monde
Je regarde tout
Dans la vitesse moi, je suis partout
Deep down
Inside
Of me
Je suis partout
Deep down
