Trainwreck 1979

(album: The Physical World - 2014)

I was born on the highway in a trainwreck
With a heart that was beating outta my chest
So now if I follow it around the world I can't keep up
If I don't get it soon I know I'll bleed until I drop

'Cause I want it all, I can't get enough
'Cause I want it all, I can't get enough

There's a darkness and a hollow on the highway
Every cross by the roadside tells a story
So now if I follow it around the world I can't keep up
This story never ends as long as we have blood and guts

'Cause I want it all, I can't get enough
'Cause I want it all, I can't get enough
I can't get enough, I can't get enough

It ran off the track 11-79 while the immigrants slept
There wasn't much time, the mayor came calling and got 'em outta bed
They packed up their families and headed upwind
A poison cloud, a flaming sky, 200,000 people and no one died
And all before the pocket dial, yeah!

I keep searching and searching
I keep searching and searching

Now I'm stranded, tied to the tracks, there's no hero, there's no villain
There's nobody I can blame, the story's still the same
I'm never satisfied, it's a problem in my brain

I keep searching and searching
I keep searching and searching

'Cause I want it all, I can't get enough
'Cause I want it all, I can't get enough

(Can't get enough) I can't get enough
(Can't get enough) I can't get enough
(Can't get enough) I can't get enough
(Can't get enough) I can't get enough
