Down by the river we met with empty hands By the boarded shelter We turned our backs to the desert land There must be something out there A shock to kill the boredom As the smoke kicked high from the factory fires They never heard the siren calling It takes one To make one It takes time To kill time Board this train, board this train to nowhere Board this train, board this train to nowhere Last by the river we left with empty hands By the border station We were blown by the western wind too long There must be something out there A shock to kill the boredom As the smoke kicked high from the factory fires We never heard the siren calling It takes one To make one It takes time To kill time Board this train, board this train to nowhere Board this train, board this train to nowhere Board this train, board this train to nowhere Board this train, board this train to nowhere Stripped like wire, stripped left open and bare Board this train, board this train to nowhere
