20th Century Express

(专辑： Time Waits For No One - 1989)

Screams cry out in the dead of night
From the crack house across the street
U're coming down with a sudden migraine
And here it is almost 3
Next door they're fighting again
Somebody's done somebody wrong
And some freak keeps calling up
Want a quickie on the telephone

U try and try 2 close your eyes at night
But all U do is toss and turn until broad daylight

[CHORUS:]
Welcome aboard the 20th Century Express
Welcome aboard the 20th Century Express

Fast food chains keep popping up
Everybody's eating on the run
Hamburgers, French fries, hurry please
But hold the indigestion
The rush hour traffic slows U down
As U race against the clock
But fasten your seatbelts everyone
There are no intermediate stops

U try and try 2 keep pace with the times
U try and get one step ahead, but U fall 2 steps behind

[CHORUS]

Ooh yeah, all day, on rey, all say, I say, he say, OK,
OK [x4]

U try and try 2 close your eyes at night
But all U do is toss and turn until broad daylight

[CHORUS x2]

Running 2 the crack house
People getting sprung out
Welcome aboard
(Welcome, welcome aboard the 20th Century Express)

Living in the fast lane
2 much cocaine
Welcome aboard
(Welcome, welcome aboard the 20th Century Express)

The world keep revolving
And ain't nobody stopping
Welcome, oh yes
(Welcome, welcome aboard the 20th Century Express)

Welcome, welcome
Welcome aboard the 20th Century Express

We're living 2 fast, y'all
Babies making babies, hear?
Oh, welcome the 20th Century Express
