lyrics

Union Station
(Mendelson)

Sky broken by the rising sun
Shine a light and interrupt the dawn
No use looking ‘round here for me
Cause by the time morning come
You call my name but I’ll be gone
You’re not the same you used to be

You’re like that runaway train on track 16
Completely out of control
Still building steam
You’re an unstoppable force
But I‘m a movable man
And by Union Station I’ll be free

I can’t watch you do this no more
Try to pick yourself up off the floor
Just to crash right through the basement
I got the feeling that you won’t get mad
Grab a bottle maybe call your dad
He can tell you what a fool you’ve been

Just like that runaway train on track 16
That Pennsy Federal Express
Worst thing we’d seen
You’re an unstoppable force
But I’m a movable man
And by Union Station I’ll be free

Watch out for this iron horse
Notify the tower and clear the concourse
Abuse your body, you abuse your soul
The life you’re livin’s gonna take its toll

You say you want another chance
You realize you’re living way too fast
I think you must have me mistaken
You think I’m the forgiving kind
But I’ve already done my time
This train’s already left the station

Just like that runaway train on track 16
That Pennsy Federal Express
Worst thing we’d seen
You’re like that runaway train on track 16
Completely out of control
Still building steam
You’re an unstoppable force
But I’m a movable man
And by Union Station I’ll be free
