Grab a track of steel
Offset the pathway
Coming down is the train
Shiny and happy

Glistening in the sun
The speed is rolling on
Unaware of the upset
The whistle blows with glee

I heard it crashing down
From my bed asleep
A 10 ton human being
Lying still with pain

As it’s slipping away
The guilty smile
The injured lies hurt
Yet the guilty smile

I don’t understand
How we all can
Laugh at the abused
As they wreck in a forest
Alone with the trees
Scarred from the splinters
All winners
Because they killed the train
