Fire On The Tracks

There's a fire on the tracks

And the train's movin' closer each day

To that fire on the tracks

Hey, don't nobody get in the way

Feel it coming right now

Want to stop it, but how

Can't you see there's a fire on the tracks

Don't you know

That you're headed for pain

Look out,

There's a fire up ahead on the tracks,

And it's you on the train

Yeah, it's you on the train

There's a movie somewhere

In the chaotic paths of our lives

There's a movie in there

It's the story of everyday lies

Like some paperback dream

I hear somebody scream

Hey mister, there's a fire on the tracks

Can't you see that you're headed for pain

Don't you know

There's a fire up ahead on the tracks,

And that's you on the train

It's you on the train

Hey mister, there's a fire on the tracks

Can't you see that you're headed for a pain

Don't you know

There's a fire up ahead on the tracks,

And that's you on the train

Look out there's a fire

There's a fire on the tracks

Don't you know

That you're headed for nothing but pain

'Cause it's you on the train,

It's you on the train

Look out now,

Fire

There's a fire on the track

Don't you know

That you're headed for nothing but pain

'Cause it's you on the train,

Yeah

It's you on the train
