I Wish I Was On a Train

All night the city lights
Pounding on my brain
I sleep tight with pills and wine
And do it all again

And I don’t know when it stopped
But I can’t feel no pain

In the frozen time
At a traffic light
And I wish I was on a train

Long hits of cigarettes
Tossing in my sleep
No rest on days like this
And I forget to dream

I say I don’t believe in nothing
But I still pray for rain

In the frozen time
At a traffic light
And I wish I was on a train

Long ago and somewhere else
The earth had opened up
And out poured hate and war
And I looked in and fell

Now I just hope I make it out
Before I go insane

In the frozen time
At a traffic light
And I wish I was on a train

Dark planes blow through my head
I feel them when I breathe
A slow race right to the end
I have no enemies

The city mouth smiling wide
I hear it sing my name

In the frozen time
At a traffic light
And I wish I was on a train
