Train Kept Rolling Songtext
von The Pogues

One thing you can rely upon
You can′t rely on anyone
With no one left to call upon
Now you're so alone

A broken clock, a speeding train
Your damaged standing still again
Your juicy secret down the drain
Time marches on

No pair of clothing on the screen
River of oblivion
I looked around but you were gone
Train kept rolling on

And I said to myself "it′s the end"
And I looked but could not find a friend
And I wished I had never been gone
This race which is already won


It's empty in the restless tomb
It's empty in the living room
The lights are on there′s no one home
As evening falls again

The son of man falls from the sky
The terminator has to die
Los Angeles is burning down
I am not surprised

And I said to myself "it′s the end"
And I looked but could not find a friend
And I wished I had never been gone
This race which is already won

Never seen a man look so forlorn
Sun down 'til the break of dawn
Face down and his clothes all torn
Wandering this town

Way out beyond the blackest stump
The woman sucked a bone dry pump
With a lonely distance in her eyes
She slowly walked away


Love is gone, my love is dead
No butter and there is no bread
Everything that′s good is gone
Train kept rolling on

And I said to myself "It's the end"
And I looked, but cannot find a friend
And I wished I had never been gone
This race which is already done
