Down by the river we met with empty hands

By the boarded shelter

We turned our backs to the desert land

There must be something out there

A shock to kill the boredom

As the smoke kicked high from the factory fires

They never heard the siren calling 

It takes one

To make one

It takes time

To kill time 


Board this train, board this train to nowhere

Board this train, board this train to nowhere 


Last by the river we left with empty hands

By the border station

We were blown by the western wind too long

There must be something out there

A shock to kill the boredom

As the smoke kicked high from the factory fires

We never heard the siren calling 


It takes one

To make one

It takes time

To kill time 


Board this train, board this train to nowhere

Board this train, board this train to nowhere 


Board this train, board this train to nowhere

Board this train, board this train to nowhere

Stripped like wire, stripped left open and bare

Board this train, board this train to nowhere
