Everyone knew it was bound to happen one day Another breakthrough with the twinkle of an eye Scholars scratch their heads all looking for a new way Ponder their options and look up to the sky No, no nothing lasts forever Nothing says goodbye like a ticket in your hand Whoa, they say progress makes us better Time ain't standing still for any man All aboard the last train to Kitty Hawk Yesterday's taking off And tomorrow's gonna fly (Time to spread our wings and fly) (My brother said "the wind ain't right") (Don't be left behind) I guess someday they'll close down this station We'll ride around in motor cars and never take the train Always be new ways to reach our destination Once we're done with taxi cabs we'll fly in jet airplanes
