One night a runaway train will shake you from your sleep
What if the runaway train and civilization meet?
There's one dream I've had before
I see the face
The face of a girl on board
The driver of the runaway train is drunk at the controls
His pockets lined with Krugerrands, his shoes are tipped with gold
In the spirit of wind and pine
I see the face
The face of a girl who's mine
And so
Tread lightly
I'm not afraid
The promise is
Don't go kill yourself for this
You've got a train
A train to miss
Don't go kill yourself for this
Don't let a runaway train come take away your dreams
Hundred tons of nightmares roll down on your machines
And so tread lightly
Did the earth tilt slightly?
Did the wolves close in? x10
