Hear that whistle scream
On down the wrong track,
A full head of steam
And too late to go back
Know now which way was best
Could have gone south or north,
Could have been east or west
Too late to go back and forth
Not a penny to my name
Not a dime in my purse,
A light at the end never came
And the tunnel made it worse
Time... it never stumbles
And the rail never ends,
Aboard a car that rumbles
Steady around the bends
Get them wheels a' turnin'
Another shovel full of coal,
To get them embers burnin'
And just let that train a' roll.
Platform 666 Exit from Hell
I’m leaving hell today,
waiting for my train.
Suitcase in hand
but have I forgotten something?
My favourite brush is left behind.
Do I run back?
Is there still time
to reclaim what I lost?
The tracks are humming;
the train is on its way.
I will not let my heart be kept
Under a stone at morn
Nor have my soul be swept
Under a carpet worn
For I have fought a winning fight
Against the living dead
So I will proudly lift my head
Into your glorious light
In times like these
When I’ve delayed all ease
That I could easily have had
I am not pained nor troubled nor sad
But content with the life I have
For written on the face of time
Is that in waiting in this world I find
All things will soon be mine
About the Last Train
The last train waits for the clock
To shake its steel with a knock;
A whistle blows with a gleam,
The train moves, a fading beam,
Through sleeping towns and moon light,
Hurtling through the silent night
With promise to reach its site.
Happiness,
Thrilling and fresh
Come on board,
we’re watching for you
Happiness,
life's important necessity
Let it roll,
it rolls back to you
The Cat Train
will soon be making another run
The Cat Train
promises a cat for everyone
Plan a new adventure
Your thought on a new life
And Happiness
won't break away anymore
It's an open door
on a friendly track
It's Happiness
Welcome on board!
Mosaic dessert brains
are splattered on the walls
of New York subways
- the underground art society!
Expressing their not-so-dry thots
their desert full of weeds
their hope
- run over by the Train.

This
Iz the finest time
In the bard'z
Life
When
the pretty her
propped 'gainst the Cedar
with
hern wide eyne
smile
and rib's
lift
queries
mine think
I pray that she can
read lips
I'm on the train
without a destination
I'm just heading out
out to nowhere
I watch the trees out the window
and I dream of better times
The train is chugging along
choo choo a choo choo
My crying tears
I miss my old life
but to a new place I'll be heading
Look at me in the train
watch me go
I dance the dance
and I go where the train goes
"Toot Toot" says the choo choo train.
I think I can, I think I can,
but then again,
perchance it's much too soon
to be going far too fast
for the downhill lane.
"Toot Toot" here I come,
whatsoever!
There are two trains comin
Both on this same track
One is at my face
The other at my back
We all know what will happen
We all know how this will end
So let’s cut out the bull
And stop trying to pretend
I’m headed for a train wreck
It becomes clearer every day
So stop trying to deny it
Cause no matter what you say
We both know that it’s over
We both know that I’m through
No matter where I run to
No matter what I do
We all know I’m a dead man
The end will not go well
With the life that I’ve been livin
I’m headed straight to hell
We boarded the soulful train at birth.
We grasp our family will be our vassal.
Both of our parents will starve to death.
No one escorted us toward the gravel.
Our parents will debark from the train later.
Hence we're left alone along this journey.
Sprung people will be joining our tabor.
Family and companions are at life's worry.
Plenty will jump ship, leaving an endless void.
Others vanish so quietly we can't notice.
It'll be a train ride of farewell and fear alloyed
We must maintain a strong host alliance.
We are uncertain of our exit in this mystery.
But should adore, excuse, and utter our aware all.
It's crucial, yet we should abandon our seats empty.
We must improve comely memories for future recall.
When I was a young boy
I dreamed of this land
And the freedom to go
In a future unplanned
In a world of adventure
With so much to see
There was much to explore
For a dreamer like me
And I thought of the trains
As they sped on their way
In a typical run
On a typical day
And I smiled and waved
To the men passing by
As I stood by the tracks
With a gleam in my eye
And a love for the train
That was moving along
With a big, heavy load
And a loud, happy song
But the years quickly passed
And the railroad died
And the vision I saw
Is a dream on the side
For a loud whistle blows
In a land far away
And the message it brings
Is a caution today
That a life should be led
By the vision you see
From a fast-moving train
That is wild and free.
The train
Trumpeting its way
On rails
Through tunnels
Busily sliding
Nosily whistling
Arriving stations
Leaving stations
Hearty hugs
Sad wavings
A journey with stops
With people embarking and disembarking
Just as life with ups and downs
With different expectations and dreams
Try to smile
Through each mile
This life is a free tour on a train…
Takes you here
Takes you there
Tempting to travel again, again…
Turnings you find
Tunnels profound
Train treads on topsy-turvy terrain…
Travel ahead
Turn not behind
Trace, in every cloud, a silver line…
Try to sing
Try to dance
Try to play trifles like simple flute…
Try to laugh
Try to love
This, indeed, is life's perfect pursuit…
The last holocaust train of infamous history
With the box cars of rusted steel
Seemed coated with patina of dry innocent blood
Turned the wheels to roll to Auschwitz
Take destiny to the door of death.
The cramped squalid space suffocating
The helpless doomed in deadly darkness
Thin streaks of sunbeam stifled
Like the rays of hope throttled
Never to breathe in the free air.
When the journey between life and death would end
No one knew until the train doors opened
Those who rose from the debris of the dead
Saw the last sunshine of the departing day
Extinguish in the gas chamber.
