Railroad, where you gonna take me now 
Been singin' the low notes - want to get up 
But he low notes bring me down 
The low notes bring me down 

Airplane where we gonna go today 
I never want to go where you take me 
But, you always get your way 
You always get your way 

Write it down now 
Write a song about my friend 
She did away with herself 
To a rock and roll band 

Da da da da da da da da da da 
I got Satan's cat 
And I got God's big dog too 
I got love from a lot of the world 
But I don't get love from you, no 
I got a lot from the bottom of the world 
But I didn't get a thing from you, 
No, I don't get a thing from you. 

Write it down, now 
Write a song about my friends 
Who did away with themselves 
To the tune of a rockin' band 

And... Da da da da da da da da da 
Railroad where you gonna take them now 
They been singin' the low notes 
Wanted to get up 
The low notes brought 'em down 
The low notes brought 'em down 
Oh, God, the low notes brought 'em down 

Write it down now 
Write a song about my friends 
Who did away with themselves 
To a rock and roll band
