living in the city feels like crying in the rain until you learn how to scream everybody looks the same i m gonna empty my pockets for a mountain bound train write a song and meet a girl along the way come on fast train speed it up i want to get out to where i haven t been oh poor boy don t you know it s the slow road that s gonna catch the wind she left me standing there with my eyes on fire i found the wind when i fell upon her lips she ran hard and fast into the night saying shame on you for being afraid of this come on fast train speed it up i want to find out where my heart landed oh poor boy dont you know its buried inside of you right where you left it ive seen angry people hiding their faces in the dark spitting words like stones theyd built around their hearts and there were children with the broken eyes of old men because their child eyes had been stolen from them come on fast train speed it up i want to find out if god exists oh poor boy dont you know its the hands of man that have ruined this the worlds as small as a stone i can hide it under my hands but its too heavy to hold for all i dont understand and its as empty as this heart ive yet to know but its what i dont have that keeps me coming around for more come on fast train speed it up i want to get out to where the grass is green oh poor boy dont you know its only as green as you believe
