Stage was set so wet and clean
The Jokers face could not be seen
Digging through the ?? news
Fighting off the midnight blues
No one wants to face the rag
Rock & roll on your track
When your levels are down so low
Ain't no further place to go

Life doesn't run on railway tracks
Life doesn't run on railway tracks
It twists and turns
It's not white or black

The past goes fast
The presents dear
The future's bright
The pathway is clear
We're all in this game
Let's end this race
Take some time to find your place
Try and step put one foot up
Find your voice let out a shout
I must get out of here
For a glass or wine
A glass of beer

Life doesn't run on railway tracks
Life doesn't run on railway tracks
It twists and turns
It's not white or black

Once in bed the blood flows strong
Feels so good when you belong
As ?? the wind feels good
In this familiar neighberhood
I wake up in the part I take your hand
You're the one that understands
No doubt has played a part
And you my heart, my darling heart

Life doesn't run on railway tracks
Life doesn't run on railway tracks
It twists and turns
It's not white or black

Life doesn't run on railway tracks
Life doesn't run on railway tracks
It twists and turns
It's not white or black
