Lyrics:
brain
Or get hit by cars, trucks, and trains
Than listen to this shit
And if you don't like this track then you can skip
The Feds are coming but I
hear us now, we ain't wastin' time no more
'Cause time rolls by like hurricanes
Runnin' after the subway train
Don't forget the pourin' rain
Did you see our brother
He was here the other day
But he only came to say that he was leaving
Did you see his lady
She was looking where he'd
on the mail train
Running out of rail track
Hope you know the way home
I think I'm gonna go roam
Factory gates standing still
Brother's in the church yard
Rhymes]
The train was worth the long trip
I threw the Rough Rider with the broad hip
Plugged it in and broke the backbone
Like sea to the salt, yo,
When we came to the station all the trains were rusty
The doors were open and the windows broken in
There was grass in all the cracks and the air
hear us now, we ain't wastin' time no more
'Cause time rolls by like hurricanes
Runnin' after the subway train
Don't forget the pourin' rain
no more
Cause time rolls by like hurricanes
Runnin after the subway train
Don't forget the pourin rain
When I was six years old I broke my leg
I was running from my brother and his friends
Tasted the sweet perfume of the mountain grass I rolled down
a conscious train of thought.
Light years
Can pass me by without me realizing
I'm water in a stream
But ya got to keep it clean.
Dirty dreams
Purity.
CLOSE YOU EYES AND HOLD ON TIGHT WE GOT A RUNAWAY TRAIN

this town 'cause you don't treat 'em right.
Oh, take a train (take a train), fly by plane (fly by plane),
Yeah, gettin' tired (gettin' tired), sick
I was born by the river in a little tent
Oh just like that river I've been running ever since
It's been a long time coming
But I know a change
I was born by the river in a little tent
Oh and just like the river I've been running ever since
It's been a long, a long time coming
But I know
forget
Would you take my regrets
'Cause I remember everything
Oh, dear brother, just don't hate me
For never standing by you or being by your side
the corporate reign
Radiation range, generation pain, fear
Migraines created by megabytes
Immune the night, every flight, it ain't right (it ain't right)
Uh,
trying so hard to plug up this hole
The air is running out we're sinking much too low
And if you sit long enough
You can hear ghost trains
As if
Pretty face tryna chase the train
And I could look the other way but it still won't erase the pain
And I pray that she stay the same, amazing grace
I was born by the river
In a little tent
Just like the river I've been running
Running ever since
Its been a long time coming
But I know
this town 'cause you don't treat 'em right.
Oh, take a train (take a train), fly by plane (fly by plane),
Yeah, gettin' tired (gettin' tired), sick
woman, yes, I did
She said our love was so strong
But I woke up one morning, Lord
Tears running down my face
A letter laying by my bedside, it read
his father's truck and stole a gun
Mother running down the highway screaming
Johnny it's too bad, oh it's too and it's bad
And it's too bad
where I did catch the train
And I remember waving back at you from a silted window pane
[Chorus:]
And I said fare thee well true love of mine
And I
forget
Would you take my regrets
'Cause I remember everything
Oh, dear brother, just don't hate me
For never standing by you or being by your side
