Moving forward the train upon the track
I can see the horizon moving back
Hear the roar of the engine, feel the heat
Sparking wheels and still gaining speed

We are moving forward on this track
We don't know where we're heading for
At this speed it's so damn hard to turn
Can't slow down, can't slow down

Do I feel a contestant in a race
All is better than staying in one place
There is no getting on or off this ride
Keeping all of its passengers inside

We are moving forward on this track
We don't know where we're heading for
At this speed it's so damn hard to turn
Can't slow down, can't slow down

I dreamed tonight
in a deep, deep sleep
Decided then
I would make the leap
With all the strength
that I had inside
I made the jump
and left the ride
I broke my bones
when I hit the ground
But I got upright
and I looked around
To see out there
to my distress
The train was heading for the edge
