Skat's Runaway Train

Out of control and down hill fast
Wondering if this life will be snuffed out at last

Stuck on the rails like an antique car
Bumpity, bumpity jerk, jar

The scenes are going too fast to focus
Was this life just hocus pocus?

Tears won't stop the heavy momentum
Physics are against us, check the sum

Hang on till the end
Another life I must lend.
