Epitaph - Train To The City

Copied!edit Lyrics
original text at lyrnow.com/1968938
Rise up in the morning, slip out from a dream
Hoping that the day won't bring me down again
Nightmares in the nighttime and sometimes in the day
And nothing really seems to really change

I'm riding my train to the city
I haven't seen a bed for three nights
Can't find my bottle of beer
You'd better keep it out of my sight

The blind man said that he could see me, babe
And I thought he was really half dead
Deaf man said that he could hear me, babe
And I thought he was out of his head

Tell me a little something, babe
Funny just how it begun
Tell me a littlе something, babe
Funny just how it begun

Thе blind man said that he could see me
And I thought he was out of his head
The deaf man said that he could hear me, babe
And I thought he was really half dead

Now I see my train keep on rolling
Rolling into the night
With every step that I'm doing
Nighttime, it's all getting by
Going down and don't know why
Going down again
Too many clouds, can't see the sky
Don't know where I'm waiting

I see you standing
I see you standing right there
I see you standing
I see you standing right there

There, I see you standing
I see you standing right there
I see you standing
I see you standing right there

Bye bye, bye bye
Bye bye, bye bye
Bye bye, bye bye
Bye bye, bye bye
