[Verse 1]
I hope this old train breaks down
Then I could take a walk around
See what there is to see
Time is just a melody

[Pre-Chorus]
With all the people in the street walking as fast as their feet can take 'em
I just roll through town
And though my window's got a view, well, the frame I'm looking through

I need this old train to break down
Oh, please, just let me please breakdown

[Verse 2]

You can't stop wishing if you don't let go
The things that you find and you lose and you know
You keep on rolling, put the moment on hold
The frame's too bright, so put the blinds down low, and

[Chorus]
I need this old train to break down
Oh, please, just let me please breakdown
I need this old train to break down
Oh, please, just let me please breakdown
[Outro]
I wanna break on down
But I can't stop now
