[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
