Train
Where were you?
We faded out the other day
Making 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, worse
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
Lightning train illusion of velocity
Lightning train illusion of velocity
Lightning train illusion of velocity
Lightning train illusion of velocity
We faded out the other day
Making 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, worse
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
Lightning train illusion of velocity
Lightning train illusion of velocity
Lightning train illusion of velocity
Lightning train illusion of velocity
