Lyrics
Waitin’ on a judgement day
To get swept away
Into the starlight haze
I’m getting’ older
And her scent is getting’ colder
It’s time for my whole world to change.
The pusher looks me right between the eyes,
Says I should apologize
For holding up the line,
Well, this ain’t my station
And I’m sorry for the hesitation
But the rabbit race completely slipped my mind.
Chorus
This ain’t no train-wreck
This ain’t no place to hide
This ain’t no kiss-off honey
Its just an opportunity so take it for a ride.
The sidewalk angel opens up her mind
She knows what I have left behind
But she is not afraid.
She never worries ‘bout ascendance,
She’s declared her independence
She laughs out loud while the music starts to fade.
The ticket-taker promises the sea
That she will come back to me,
For one more final dance.
He’s so hard to believe-
He’s grinning through his teeth,
But I might not ever get a second chance.
Chorus
This ain’t no train-wreck
This ain’t no place to hide
This ain’t no kiss-off honey
Its just an opportunity so take it for a ride.
If you’re lookin’ for the sacred cow
You better turn back now
You’ll never keep it fed.
It’ll promise you the world
And it always gets the girl
While it slowly eats away your daily bread.
Haven’t got a penny of my own
Ain’t got no home
But I am on my way
I got some fishes in the stream
I’m carrying their dreams
And with that light I’ll greet another day.
Chorus
This ain’t no train-wreck
This ain’t no place to hide
This ain’t no kiss-off honey
Its just an opportunity so take it for a ride.
