ONCOMING TRAIN

Ready or not this day’s about to start
Better get going ‘fore it breaks my heart
I lost the last one – there’ve been some I’ve won
This could go either way before it’s dark

What’s that light in the tunnel?
Could be good, could be trouble
Either way – hey
This is it – jump the tracks and stare it down
It’s an oncoming train

No-one’s against you but it feels like it
The worst you imagined hasn’t happened yet
Want some attention? Go out and get some
Nobody’s watching, take what you can get

What’s that noise engineer?
What’s that sound I can hear?
Hit the brake – hey
Yesterday ran me over
Not today! Jump this oncoming train
