"Breakdown" lyrics
"Breakdown"
I hope this old train breaks down
Then I could take a walk around
See what there is to see
Time is just a melody
With all the people in the street walking as fast as their feet can take 'em
I just roll through town
And though my window's got a view, well, the frame I'm looking through
Seems to have no concern for now, so for now I
I need this old train to break down
Oh, please, just let me please break down
Well, this engine screams out loud
Centipede gonna crawl westbound
So I don't even make a sound
'Cause it's gonna sting me when I leave this town
And all the people in the street that I'll never get to meet
If these tracks don't bend somehow
And I got no time that I got to get
To where I don't need to be, so I
I need this old train to break down
Oh, please, just let me please break down
I need this old train to break down
Oh, please, just let me please break down
I wanna break on down
But I can't stop now
Let me break on down
But you can't stop nothing if you got no control
Of the thoughts in your mind that you kept and you know
You don't know nothing, but you don't need to know
The wisdom's in the trees, not the glass windows
You can't stop wishing if you don't let go
The things that you find and you lose and you know
You keep on rolling, put the moment on hold
The frame's too bright, so put the blinds down low, and
I need this old train to break down
Oh, please, just let me please break down
I need this old train to break down
Oh, please, just let me please break down
I wanna break on down
But I can't stop now

Grab your bag and grab your coat
Tell the ones that need to know
We are headed north
One foot in and one foot back
But it don't pay to live like that
So I cut the...

Will you help me to dream it all up again
Tired of the same song everyone's singing
Rather be lost with you instead
Don't you come around here

Train - "If It's Love" While everybody else is getting out of bed
I'm usually getting in it
I'm not in it to win it
And there's a thousand ways you can skin it
My feet have been on the floor
Flat like an Idol singer...
The Head And The Heart - "Down In The Valley" I wish I was a slave to an age-old trade
Like ridin' around on railcars and workin' long days
Lord have mercy on my rough and rowdy ways

Call it one drink...
Joe Purdy - "Mary May & Bobby" It was a fine day in the fifth grade
When Mary May let Bobby walk her home from school
He had her books in hand and he was listening to every word she said
Like it was the gospel or the prophecies...
