You know I never could fall asleep on a train
All the time dreaming about moving away.
Finally awake, I wonder
What if I pulled the emergency brake...?
Doors are still open and I wish they would shut,
Then I could stop thinking 'should I jump and run?'
Only on page ten
And I think I gotta start all over again.

When the tape slows down it means the battery's dead.
May your songs never get stuck out of my head.
If I ever fall asleep I remember my dream
Where everybody's there and nobody leaves
Where everybody's there and nobody leaves.

The platform moves backwards until its out of sight.
Tracks start to split,
Got another ten hours till my next cigarette.
Biked round the city about a billion times
And a few seconds left until I leave it behind.
Almost at the end
I close my eyes and we fall over the edge.

When the tape slows down it means the battery's dead.
May your songs never get stuck out of my head.
If I ever fall asleep I remember my dream
Where everybody's there and nobody leaves.
Where everybody's there and nobody leaves.
