Born on a Train

Some roads are only seen at night.

Ghost roads, nothing but neon signs.

But some nights the neon gas gets free-

And turns into walking dead like me.

And I've been making promises

I know I'll never keep.

One of these day

I'm gonna leave you in your sleep.

I'll have to go when the whistle blows-

The whistle knows my name.

Baby, I was born on a train.

Well I know that you were never young,

And I know you probably won't get old.

But honey, nobody's gonna hurt you anymore.

And nobody's gonna make you wanna die.

And I've been making promises

I know I'll never keep.

One of these days

I'm gonna leave you in your sleep.

I'll have to go when the whistle blows-

The whistle knows my name.

Baby, I was born on a train.

I'll go some cold and gray morning.

And you won't remember anything.

Well some people don't believe in time.

And some of us don't believe in life.

And I've been making promises

I know I'll never keep.

One of these days

I'm gonna leave you in your sleep.

I'll have to go when the whistle blows-

The whistle knows my name.

Baby, I was born on a train...

Baby, I was born on a train...
