you took the last train out into the night
to see the outside world just rushing by
there goes another town
and there's no turning round
well the big bad city is just ahead
and there's a million lives of the living dead
we'll put the squeeze on you
so what you gonna do
well you've bent your mind, you've spent your life
and you've ended up with what?
but you've gone way too far by now to turn around
running fast and you're running blind
but the past is always close behind
a million leaves are falling to the ground
as the night turns to day
and the days fade away
all the smiling people with empty eyes
its like a drive-in version of paradise
and you just can't wait
you gotta fill that plate
you feel the morning rain at the break of day
it's gonna wash the sins of the night away
well don't you understand?
its getting out of hand
well you've bent your mind you've spent your life
and you've ended up with what?
but you've gone way too far by now to turn around
running fast and you're running blind
but the past is always close behind
a million leaves are falling to the ground
as the night turns to day
and the days fade away
you're running fast and you're running blind
but the past is always close behind
a million leaves are falling to the ground
well you've bent your mind you've spent your life
and you've ended up with what?
but you've gone way too far by now to turn around
running fast and you're running blind
but the past is always close behind
a million leaves are falling to the ground
as the night turns to day
and the days fade away
