Stop! The train is riding Down to the station where you lived When we were school kids Hey! The rails are caught now And I am falling down Fools in a spiral Round this town of steam My body tells me no! But I won't quit 'Cuz I want more, 'cuz I want more My body tells me no! But I won't quit 'Cuz I want more, 'cuz I want more Stop The train is riding Down to the station where I lived When I was a cool kid Hey! Is it my fault that The fallen embers burn Down in a spiral Round your crown of thieves My body tells me no! But I won't quit 'Cuz I want more, 'cuz I want more My body tells me no! But I won't quit 'Cuz I want more, 'cuz I want more And it rides out of town Oh, It's my road It's my road It's my road It's my road It's my road It's my road And it's my war, it's my war, It's my war, it's my war His eyes are open His eyes are open Hey, hey, hey My body tells me no! But I won't quit 'Cuz I want more, 'cuz I want more My body tells me no! But I won't quit 'Cuz I want more, 'cuz I want more It rides out of town
