Where were you? We faded out the other day Making up new wounds to count and contemplate Hear that lonesome whistle blowin' Just for you and you alone Lightning speed to nowhere, it's your lucky day Can't believe the nerve of that proceeding, worse Worse than where you are is that you got there first Sure you can reverse Turn a blessing to a curse Lightning train to nowhere in the universe ♪ Stressing every syllable of your complaint Can't they tell the difference Between passengers and freight? Cursing the conductor then We try our luck again Lightning speed to nowhere but oblivion ♪ Pictures play in place all day They never leave their wall They stand against it And when they talk They do so it can hear For they know That their wall has ears All ears, all ears Swatting at the smoke rings in the dining car Speculation station, is that where we are?

Lightning train to anywhere but very far Lightning speed to nowhere but obscurity Only destination is the scenery Hear that lonesome whistle blowin' Just for you and you alone Lightning train illusion of velocity Lightning train illusion of velocity Lightning train illusion of velocity ♪ Lightning train illusion of velocity
