you fools and hard parted
Ever circling back on a one -way track
They pull into the station
Some arriving when they think
But they're not going anywhere
Muscles when they've landed
Choose to stay like prisoners in a garden
All hope is abandoned here,
cause they know the engine here
Goes straight, goes straight to nowhere
They pass a thousand concrete pillars,
begging for a little sleep
Down the same dark tunnels,
past the same empty streets
The ci garettes, smoke, jokes,
the coffees we can make right
It's a funeral pyre, belching smoke and fire
All luxuries, amenities discarded
It circles back on a one -way track
Pulling into the station where it started
They search eternal winter landscapes for
images of loved ones and home
Though every seat in isle is crowded,
they have never felt so alone
While suf fering is assured,
though they don't speak a word.
It's a sinner's dream when
Calling all aboard you fools in
Ever circling back on the one -way track.
They pulled into the station
Some arrive and when they think
They're not going anywhere
Muscles when they've landed there
Choose to stay like this for some garden
All of this abandoned here
Cause they know the engineer
Ghost trains, ghost trains to nowhere
