As slow as rapid city We must be gathering speed Here for something Trained for these tracks But afraid of the freight And it doesn't get played on the radio Travel Wires and worries unravel Faced with unlacing the drinks Trade taps for tanks A new ram in the ranks Our friends say way to go and where to go Never if you're out there Come along and save us from ourselves Oh how we missed it everything's twisted around When the clouds come clear Open your eyes and we'll be here Never will come for us Everything's sung Never will comfort us Everything's wrong Never will come for us Never will come come Why won't you come? Never if you're out there Come to here and toast our merry year
