Lyrics
There's a train on a hill and it's standing very still. There's a chain on the wheel. There's a peace in the air but it's heading nowhere cause the earth just isn't fair. There's a road up ahead and it's calling us to tread but the people are too scared to move so they just stay where they are. There's a man sitting down and he's staring at the ground while the sun rolls around.
