Nonstop to Nowhere

I'm on the lame train
 I got a first class ticket
 On the nonstop to nowhere
 Where it takes me I don't know
 I guess the tracks you lay are your own
 ♪
 Well, it's five o'clock in the morning
 And I can't fall asleep again
 Times are changing and moving fast
 Way too fast for me
 Seems like only yesterday
 I was skipping school and stealing gasoline
 I've been talking
 I guess you call it talking a white lie
 One minute I'm on top of the world
 And the next thing you know
 I'm on the lame train
 I got a first class ticket
 On the nonstop to nowhere
 Where it takes me I don't know
 I guess the tracks you lay are your own
 Sometimes I just and daydream
 ♪
 And I just slip away from here
 If only I had a crystal ball
 Or could invent a time machine
 I'd go into the future, take a good look around
 And see what life has in store for me
 I've been walking
 I guess you call it walking a thin line
 One minute I'm on top of the world
 And the next thing you know
 I'm on the lame train
 I got a first class ticket
 On the nonstop to nowhere
 Where it takes me I don't know
 I guess the tracks you lay are your own
 It's like a chain gang
 I know the exit but my problems
 Seem to follow me wherever I go
 Nonstop to nowhere
 I don't believe the preachers
 They're just sticking out their hands
 I don't believe the government
 And who is this Uncle Sam
 Mr. Conductor will you help me off this train
 ♪
 Well, I believe I'm on the wrong one
 ♪
 And it's taking me down the drain
