Well, you've been on a fast train and it's going off the rails And you can't come back, can't come back together again And you start breaking down in the pouring rain Well, you've been on a fast train
When your lover has gone away, don't it make you feel so sad And you go on a journey way into the land And you start breaking down 'cause you're under the strain And you jump on a fast train
You had to go on the lam, you stepped into no-man's land Ain't nobody here on your waveband Ain't nobody gonna give you a helping hand And you start breaking down and just go into the sound When you hear that fast train
And you keep moving on to the sound of the wheels And deep inside your heart you really know oh, just how it feels And you start breaking down and go into the pain Keep on moving on a fast train
You're way over the line, next thing you're out of your mind And you're out of your depth, in through the window she crept Oh, there's nowhere to go in the sleet and the snow Just keep on moving on a fast train
You had to go on the lam, stepping in no-man's land Ain't nobody here on your waveband Nobody even gonna lend you a helping hand Oh, and you're so alone, can you really make it on your own? Keep on moving on a fast train
Oh, going nowhere, except on a fast train Oh, trying to get away from the past Oh, keep on moving keep on moving on a fast train Going nowhere, across the desert sand, through the barren waste On a fast train going nowhere
