Wait, wait the race has been numbered So soon to go where the horses have gone Lay down your head, like a baby to slumber Can't make it home anymore, oh no Can't catch the train
With sorrows to suffer unknown Drawing the stars to a close
As sure as the shovel is blind, deaf and digging One day you're hung at the end of the rope Hat in your hand, near the station just begging Don't have the fare anymore, oh no Can't catch the train
Calling from beyond the pale Shipwrecked, the dancers will crawl
Sing, sing for the new day appearing Give us one more for the memories you lost Sing for the night And how quickly it's nearing Can't make it home anymore, oh no Can't catch the train
