lyrics

THERE’S A RUNAWAY TRAIN ROLLIN’ DOWN THE TRACK
NO ONE TO SLOW IT DOWN OR HOLD IT BACK
ENGINEER’S SLEEPIN’, LOCOMOTIVE CREEPIN’ TO THE END
HEY HEY

WHY YOU GOTTA DO ME, DO ME THIS WAY
I’VE DONE MY TIME, I PAVED THE WAY
BUT EVERYTHING I GOT IS NEVER GOOD ENOUGH FOR YOU
HEY HEY

I WISH I HAD A CRYSTAL BALL
GIVIN’ ME THE ANSWERS TO IT ALL
PICKIN’ ME UP WHEN I’M BOUND TO FALL
CAUSE I’M BOUND TO FALL

I GOT A DOCTOR DISREGARD WHO LIKES TO RUN HIS MOUTH
HE SAID TAKE THIS PILLS AND MOVE DOWN SOUTH
NOW I’M TWITCHIN’ WITH THE TWEAKERS, TRIPPIN’ LIKE I’M OUTTA CONTROL
HEY HEY

WELL, I’M STANDING ON THE EDGE OF ETERNITY
THERE’S A SEA OF REGRET SWIRLIN’ OVER ME
I SHOULDA WOULDA COULDA IF I HADDA KNOWN HOW IT ALL ENDS
HEY HEY

I WISH I HAD A CRYSTAL BALL
GIVIN’ ME THE ANSWERS TO IT ALL
PICKIN’ ME UP WHEN I’M BOUND TO FALL
CAUSE I’M BOUND TO FALL
