Bare hands beaten
If I get the chance I'll be bleedin'
Aint it a shame how you playin' with the train in your hands
I don't think they understand
I know you're name, got your number
Now I'm gonna getcha
Tie me in chains, lock me up and
I'll break out I betcha
And if you see me free walking the streets
It's just cause I let you down, so down
Just goes to show what you can't understand
Cause you'll never get to heaven with a train in your hands
Cause you can't stop a train
If you aint got the strength
But then all that remains
Is the name on your grave
With your cold dead eyes
And your spiral looking glass
Aint you ever gonna see that
The past is just the past
1 2 3 like a bird and a bee
But you only find yourself when you climb in a tree
And if you look both ways you'll be lookin' at me
By yourself, that aint good for your health
Just goes to show what you can't understand
Cause you'll never get to heaven with a train in your hands
Cause you can't stop a train
If you aint got the strength
But then all that remains
Is the name on your grave
With your cold dead eyes
And your spiral looking glass
Aint you ever gonna see that
The past is just the past
You run for shelter so you don't have to feel the rain
And now your coming to me so you got to feelin the pain
And now it's coming at you like a ten ton freight train
Cause you can't stop a train
If you aint got the strength
But then all that remains
Is the name on your grave
With your cold dead eyes
And your spiral looking glass
Aint you ever gonna see that
The past is just the past
