no im not colorblind
i know the world is black and white
try to keep an open mind
but i just cant sleep on this tonight

stop this train
i want to get off and go home again
i cant take the speed it's moving in
i know i cant but honestly, wont someone stop this train?

dont know how else to say it
dont want to see my parents go
one generation's length away
from fighting life out on my own

stop this train
i want to get off and go home again
i cant take the speed it's moving in
i know i cant but honestly, wont someone stop this train?

so scared of getting older
im only good at being young
so i play the numbers game
to find the way to say that life has just begun

had a talk with my old man
said help me understand
he said turn 68
you renegociate
dont stop this train
dont for a minute change the place youre in
and dont think i couldnt ever understand
i tried my hand
john, honestly we'll never stop this train

once in awhile
when its good
it'll feel like it should
and theyre all still around
and youre still safe and sound
and you dont miss a thing
til you cry when youre driving away in the dark

singing
stop this train
i want to get off and go home again
i cant take the speed it's moving in
i know i cant
cuz now i see i'll never stop this train
