Lyrics

I hope this old train breaks down, then I can take a walk around
You see, there's no time to sing, 'cause time is just a melody
With all the people in the street, as fast as the feet can take 'em
I just roll through town
My window's got a view, but the frame I look through
Seems to have no concern for now, for now
I need this old train to break down
Oh please, just let me please break down
There you go
This engine screams out loud
Let's try that again, baby
And that baby screams out loud
I'm gonna walk westbound
So I don't even make a sound
It's gonna sting me when I leave this town
The people in the street, I never get to meet
These tracks don't bend somehow
And I've got no time that I've got to get
Where I don't need to be for now
I need this old train to break down
Oh please, just let me please break down
And I need this old train to break down
Oh please, just let me please break down
Let me break all down, but I can't stop now
You can't stop nothing if you've got no control
Of the thoughts in your mind that you kept and you know
You don't know nothing, but you don't need to know
The wisdom's in the trees, not the glass window
You can't stop wishing, but you don't let go
Of the things that you find, that you lose and you know
You keep on rolling, but the moment's on hold
The frame's too pricey to blast down low
I need this old train to break down
Oh please, just let me please break down
I need this old train to break down
Oh please, just let me please break down
