The day slipped away
Gone as quickly as it came
I was someplace I could not stay
I shot through town, like a moving train
Everyone I met was just another
Another one, who left his home behind
All of us in search of what laid down the line
Only to find nothing new
Waiting there to see you through
Then all our lost and found
Seem more or less the same
And kept me on my way
Like a moving train
Everywhere was the same
I got twisted like an open flame in a hurricane
Between an ocean and a desert
They're running out of proof
Between the city and myself
Trying to find some truth
Only to find there ain't no too
It's only that, which you choose
Then all our lost and found
Seem more or less the same
And kept me on my way
Like a moving train
Till I had nowhere to go
Every place I could not stay
All effort no way to know
So will my debt be here to pay
If I ever come back this way
So when that train comes around
Might pick you up, or run you down
Unless you take them all
Is left to make it right
Even if it's wrong and you hang on it just might
Take you back to where you started out tonight
So I had to find out
Oh, I had to find out
I had to find myself a better way
And everyother place I could not stay
Just slipped away
Like a moving train
