Derailed
I was on a train that derailed in DeKalb
Just a kid but I remember the sound
Of it all breaking down
As we all went down
First the metal squealed as the car jumped the track
Windows exploded the seams
Then the scene
Filled with screams
Yeah the scene filled with screams
Back in present day, I see a face in the crowd
There's a gun and he's pulling it out
Just a moment to shout
The world falls down
Time slips away as the night jumps the track
When the murderer turns to me
And he sees what I've seen
Turns to me and he screams
It was the Warriors! The Warriors!
The Warriors shot Cyrus
No, I didn't do this!
I'd never do this!
Didn't you see them?
Yeah
I know I seen 'em!
The Warriors!
I don't see a way to escape from the crowd
(The Warriors shot Cyrus!) They shout, I shout
I stand my ground
Look around I'm surrounded
I drown in the shots and the shouts as the world falls down
Warriors! Get away from the crowd!
Make your way downtown
Gotta find a way to escape from the crowd
Go the other way or there's no getting out!
There's a broken gate at the edge of the playground
Stay down! Stay down!
Make a little space at the break in the gate now
Yo! Punch your fuckin' way through the gate 'til it breaks down
Gotta make a way when there's no other way out
Freeze! Police! Alright boys, take 'em out!
Now every move that we make is a bid to survive
Keep us alive
When you woke up today you didn't think you could die
Neither did I
Woodlawn Cemetery way up the hill (I don't love runnin')
Run to the cemetery, way up the hill (I guess we're runnin')
Run to the cemetery, way up the hill
Or it's the graveyard
Or it's the graveyard
Warriors, come out to play-ay-ay-ay
Warriors, come out to play-ay-ay-ay
Just a kid but I remember the sound
Of it all breaking down
As we all went down
First the metal squealed as the car jumped the track
Windows exploded the seams
Then the scene
Filled with screams
Yeah the scene filled with screams
Back in present day, I see a face in the crowd
There's a gun and he's pulling it out
Just a moment to shout
The world falls down
Time slips away as the night jumps the track
When the murderer turns to me
And he sees what I've seen
Turns to me and he screams
It was the Warriors! The Warriors!
The Warriors shot Cyrus
No, I didn't do this!
I'd never do this!
Didn't you see them?
Yeah
I know I seen 'em!
The Warriors!
I don't see a way to escape from the crowd
(The Warriors shot Cyrus!) They shout, I shout

Look around I'm surrounded
I drown in the shots and the shouts as the world falls down

Run to the cemetery, way up the hill (I guess we're runnin')
Run to the cemetery, way up the hill
Or it's the graveyard
Or it's the graveyard
Warriors, come out to play-ay-ay-ay
Warriors, come out to play-ay-ay-ay
