Train Song (2:50) (175 bpm)

It’s raining in Champaign. It washed all the snow away and I’ve got my eyes on the exit signs just in case.

For every minute spent and breath I wasted, I was close to tasting just one more hit one more hit before I leave. I hopped on this train hoping it’d take me anywhere from here to there just anywhere away from here.

Do you really think you can get to me? I don’t think so.
Do you really think you’re so unique? I don’t think so.

You could stop girl, any time you want to. You could stop this.
You could stop girl, any time you want to, and put these breaks in the ground.

I’m quiet with the guy sitting next to me. He says you can go where you please but you’ll find that your Vices follow close behind.
I’m checking my voice mail every 10 minutes for a voice that could stop this train. I would drop everything if she cared to call if she cared at all but still my patience is a Virtue.

Do you really think you can get to me? I don’t think so.
Do you really think you’re so unique? I don’t think so.

For someone who loves her body so much, you sure do lend it out an awful lot. I hope its worth it baby. Fire up the engine I am itchin to get out of this town. I want a girl who believes in Jesus and never learned how to tell a lie.

Do you really think you can get to me? I don’t think so.
Do you really think you’re so unique? I don’t think so.

So let’s say everything we always said but never meant for the last time. I’ve met my match. I’m gonna burn this city burn this city to the ground (burn it to the ground man.)

Do you really think you can get to me? I don’t think so.
Do you really think you’re so unique? I don’t think so.
