Lyrics
I've got a train to catch
I've got a train to catch
I'm tied to these tracks
They're going to take me back
The cabin door is latched
The tunnel lights go black
My fingers strike a match
And suddenly I'm back there, back there
Alright, it'll be alright if we just hang tight you know
Alright, it'll be alright if we just hang tight you know
They're coming round the bend
The paranoia men
They're going to take me in
But they're not going to catch me, catch me
Alright, it'll be alright if we just hang tight you know
Alright, it'll be alright if we just hang tight you know
I've been holding my breath, I digress, I'm up to my chest and the water's getting hotter I guess I'm getting caught up in this hyperventilating debating which way to race in, if I make it will I wake or break? I'm getting shaken by this, I've got 60 seconds no weapons, this lesson's left me with less here than I bet on, I bet... no on's alive in here
Alright, it'll be alright if we just hang tight you know
Alright, it'll be alright if we just hang tight you know
Alright, it'll be alright if we just hang tight you know
Alright, it'll be alright if we just hang tight
Alright Alright
