Lyrics

On The Train

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

City's got the best of me, collar's so tight seems there's no air to breathe

Mamma gave me dancing legs, oh Mamma my, Mamma don't cry

I'm sure I got short changed

Time I got my aim right, no cocaine

Check out the bone zone, I ain't stayin'

I know you feel the same you're not alone so I'll be

Straight with you on the train

They'll never believe it now we're on our way

I ain't going back again

I need it like a hole in my vein, a hole in my vein

Straight with you on the train

They'll never believe it now we're on our way

I ain't going back again

I need it like a hole in my vein, a hole in my vein

(I want you, I want you)

God He been testing me

Heat beating down

I just need a cool breeze

Papa gave me heart and soul, Oh Papa I, Papa I tried.

Here no-one gives a damn

Time I got my swerve on

I'm a reborn man

I don't belong here, I ain't staying

I know you feel the same you're not alone, so I'll be.

Straight with you on the train

They'll never believe it now we're on our way

I ain't going back again

I need it like a hole in my vein, a hole in my vein

Straight with you on the train

They'll never believe it now we're on our way

I ain't going back again

I need it like a hole in my vein, a hole in my vein

I don't belong here got nothing to prove.

I'm on the train now I'm making my move.

I don't belong here got nothing to prove.

I'm on the train now.

There goes the phone again, there goes the phone again

There goes the phone again (do do do do do do do)

Get me on the train, baby won't you get me on the train, get me on the train

I gotta get out

Gotta get out, gotta get out of here.

I'm on the train now, I'm on the train now.

What's the point?

Money pay the bills, stick around, die young
