There's a freight train comin round,
No one knows where it's been, where's it's bound,
There's a freight train runnin round,
Hoppin fences, fannin forest leaves,
Thick as thieves, it floats over ground
Yeah it goes to break down,
Oh it grieves like a ghost, unbound,
It leaves lost just to try and go get found,
And oh my god, how we all break down
There's a sunkin sea ship settin down,
The coast has grown, now the anchor's thrown
In the center of town,
Such a lovely sea ship lookin so sunkin down,
From the terrace, see the fairest fashions
Behold the ground,
Hear the horn blow,
Watch children, old folks runnin down,
They sit and breathe as the waves drown out the sound,
And the majesty of the pageantry
plays the tragedy when it's never found,
And OMG how we've all sunk down
There's so many jet planes floatin round,
It's captain's carriers break the barriers,
They fly past the world of sound,
There are so many jet planes crashin down,
The wings fold in now, they won't need them anyhow
The people wave as they fall around,
The children play,
They sing, "Fly sky high's the joke of comin down,"
And lover's stare,
Holdin hands as each one withers down,
Lord they pray,
"God's Speed's the joke of slowin down"
And the people wave as we fall around,
They say, "Go, if you gotta go, go learn to settle down,"
But in the mornin, what was left of the night'll get found,
And God damn,
How we all come around,
There's so many people dyin down,
There's so much left undone, Here and Now,
There's so many people bent on comin around,
One after another,
With a need for speed,
To slow down
Oh they go to where the air calms down,
They go sayin, "Let's go settle down"
