I'm gonna trip it here I'm ready to fly I think it's time
Not a night throw from here you can hear the night train passing
That's the sound somebody makes when they're getting away
Leaving next week to hanging juries far behind them
The prisoner only have the choices they've made, night train
Night train
Ice cube in the dark green shines like starlight The moon is floating somewhere around the sea
I'm an island in the blur of noise and color Alcatraz, St. Helena, Patmos in the shadow deep, night train
Night train
Everyone's in an island and dead to the sand The temporary refuge where somebody else can stand
To the seas that binds us like the force of time of a blood hole
We'll wear it down when it's all been recombined
Night train
Night train
Anyone can die here, they do it every day It doesn't take much effort though it goes against the grain
And the ultimate forgetfulness of violence Sweeps the landscape like the headlight of a train
Night train
Night train
Ice cube in the dark green shines like starlight Starlight shines like glass shards in dark air
