Night Train
Same old stories and the same old song
I've been living here for much too long
Small town small minds it's all so bloody daunting
Sitting round with nothing to do
watching stupid movies chinese kung fu
Bruce Lee, Zombie Trash, forget your dream-hunting
Down on main street there's a danger sign
saying "Caution: Dead End Street lies just straight ahead"
Bored teenagers meet each night at nine
getting soused, pale faces like they're back from the dead
I'll be leaving on a night train
Yeah, there's gotta be a better place
Don't wanna be a basket case
No, oh no"¦
I'll be leaving on a night train
I don't care and I won't turn around
Yeah, I'm gonna break new ground
Hooray, I'm northern bound
Out of this town right now
Leave on a night train now
Out of this town right now
Leave on a night train now
School work death "” nothing else to do
just do the things they expect from you
but deep inside you know there's gotta be a better life somewhere, someplace else
Snow's falling and my bags are packed
I'm gonna leave tonight, well that's a fact
Cause I ain't gonna wait til the best days of my life have been washed out
And I'm walking down main street for one last time
with its houses that look to me like a scene-of-crime
I'll be trading this life for a real big time
but I don't know where I'm gonna wake up at dawn
I'll be leaving on a night train
Yeah, there's gotta a better place
Don't wanna be a basket case
No, oh no"¦
I'll be leaving on a night train
I don't care and I won't turn around
because I'm gonna break new ground
No looking back, I'm northern bound
Out of this town right now
Leave on a night train now
Out of this town right now
Leave on a night train now
