Off This Train Paroles

Coming out of the rain was a speeding train
and so begins my plight.

As that speeding train got closer I tried to look away.
I thought if I could just close my eyes,
then it might just go away.
I jerked real hard upon the wheel
and spinning round and round.

I was driving down a lonely road
one dark and stormy night.
A pair of hands from that freight car,
they snatched me up off the ground.

Oh Mama Please.
I wanna get off this train. Please take me home.

I came to in a box car & it was rockin' side to side.
The moon she stole the darkness
and filled the space with light. They gathered all around me
then they kicked me to the ground.
I started to fight, but hands held me tight
and they shoved and pushed me down.
They started in to singing low then went into a dance.
As their shadows twisted on the wall I fell into a trance.

Oh Mama Please.
I wanna get off this train. Please take me home.

All at once they screamed out loud
and they shut there eyes tight.
It broke the trance, I saw my chance
and I dove into the night.
As I tumbled through the darkness
contemplating what went wrong
I heard their tortured voices
they were singing out this song.

Oh Mama Please.
I wanna get off this train. Please take me home.
