You heard it coming as a child Tried to hop on when the times were wild Now you sit down and enjoy the view It's about time, it's about you It's useless to walk backwards on a train Landscapes rush in front of your eyes All your sayings became lies And before you know it you're grey and old And before you want it you're dead and cold It's useless to walk backwards on a train At some point you may want to pull the breaks And leave the train for whatever that takes You're stuck inside but the rails are in your hand You can lay them as you want and reclaim land As the driver you have the greatest view It's about time - it is you It's useless to walk backwards on a train.
