[Verse 1]
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

[Bridge 1]
With sorrows to suffer unknown
Drawing the stars to a close

[Verse 2]
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
[Bridge 2]
Calling from beyond the pale
Shipwrecked, the dancers will crawl

[Verse 3]
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
