A picture from a long past day
Maybe the 4th of July
A day when the sun shone brightly
In his morning sky
But silence is now all that is found
In his room across town
It's clear what we have here is
Another afternoon sundown
Ride that speeding train
Ride that speeding train
That you swallowed in your vein
Ride that speeding train
This train may come to a final sudden stop
Or not
Until the end you
Ride that speeding train
Ride that speeding train
A memory from a long past day
Maybe a golden birthday
A day when the sun shone brightly
In her morning sky
And some things that have been lost
Will never again be found
It's clear what we have here is
Another afternoon sundown
Ride that speeding train
Ride that speeding train
That you swallowed in your vein
Ride that speeding train
This train may come to a final sudden stop
Or not
Until the end you
Ride that speeding train
Ride that speeding train
Ride that speeding train
Ride that speeding train
Ride that speeding train
Ride that speeding train
Ride that speeding train
Ride that speeding train
Ride that speeding train
