[Verse 1]
Well, you've been on a fast train
And it's goin' off the rails
And you can't come back
Can't come back together again
And you start breakin' down
In the pourin' rain
Well, you've been on a fast train

[Verse 2]
When your lover has gone away
Don't it make you feel so sad?
And you go on a journey
Way into the land
And you start breakin' down
'Cause you're under the strain
And you jump on a fast train

[Verse 3]
You had to go on the lam
You stepped into no-man's land
Ain't nobody here on your waveband
And nobody gonna give you a helpin' hand
And you start breakin' down
And just go into the sound
When you hear that fast train
[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 4]
And you keep movin' on
To the sound of the wheels
Oh, deep inside your heart you really know
Oh, just how it feels
And you start breakin' down
And go into the pain
Keep on movin' on a fast train

[Verse 5]
You're way over the line
Next thing you're out of your mind
And you're out of your depth
In through the window she crept
Oh, there's nowhere to go
In the sleet and the snow
Just keep on movin' on a fast train

[Verse 6]
You had to go on the lam
Steppin' in no-man's land
Ain't nobody here on your waveband
Nobody even gonna lend you a helpin' hand
Oh, and you're so alone
Can you really make it on your own?
Keep on movin' on a fast train
[Outro]
Oh, goin' nowhere
'Cept on a fast train
Oh, tryin' to get away from the past
Oh, keep on movin'
Keep on goin' on a fast train
Goin' nowhere
Cross the desert sand
Through the barren waste
On a fast train
Goin' nowhere
On a fast train
Goin' nowhere
