last train to Dullsville Lyrics

I swear today is the day

It's the last time I'm gonna ride that train

Gonna punch my ticket stake my claim

Never let their stone drag me down again

Nodding I'm nodding to the rhythm of the rails

Drive conductor jet propel

Lazy liquid whips across the trail

I rode that line in the sun and rain

Skyscraper to the desert plain

Each horizon dead and dull and grey

And I saw the millions they held restrained

Faces pressed up against the glass in vain

And I swore I wouldn't end up that way

I can't forget can't explain

All the sad and stupid things I saw in that place

And I'll never regret walking away

I'll take a roll of the dice

Over stale unending decay

Yawning I'm yawning as the backup systems fail

Old facades come crashing down

And I am falling through a thousand veils

On a thousand tunnel walls it plays

Repeating pattern in a fleeting haze

To unblinking eyes and disconnected brains

A destination that can never change

The lonely echo of a monotone across terrain

Above the damned that shall ever remain

So where away?

Where away?
