Oh no Here we go again It's time to spend The last lucky dollar
Can't you see it now Sleeping on the train And singing that sad refrain Oh, you could have been a contender
By the look in their eyes You can see that they despise you But you know it doesn't much really matter Because there's the train, there's the track Don't say goodbye and don't look back Because if you do You know that you're going to shatter
You never took me where I wanted to go You never told me what I wanted to know You couldn't see what I was trying to show It must have been some strange reaction
And you split me when I started to crack And you forgot me when I went off the track And you just put another knife in my back It must have been some strange reaction
Must be some strange reaction of a chemical kind When all your problems develop complications Can't get to sleep when all the people on the street Are just like insects crawling on a carcass
And you were crawling when I wanted to fly And you were laughing when I wanted to cry Where were you when when I wanted to die? It must have been some strange reaction
I was cursing when you tried to pray To an idol with feet of clay You had a party but nobody came It must have been some strange reaction, hey
