you took the last train out into the night

to see the outside world just rushing by

there goes another town

and there's no turning round

well the big bad city is just ahead

and there's a million lives of the living dead

we'll put the squeeze on you

so what you gonna do



well you've bent your mind, you've spent your life

and you've ended up with what?

but you've gone way too far by now to turn around

running fast and you're running blind

but the past is always close behind

a million leaves are falling to the ground



as the night turns to day

and the days fade away



all the smiling people with empty eyes

its like a drive-in version of paradise

and you just can't wait

you gotta fill that plate

you feel the morning rain at the break of day

it's gonna wash the sins of the night away



well don't you understand?

its getting out of hand



well you've bent your mind you've spent your life

and you've ended up with what?

but you've gone way too far by now to turn around

running fast and you're running blind

but the past is always close behind

a million leaves are falling to the ground



as the night turns to day

and the days fade away



you're running fast and you're running blind

but the past is always close behind

a million leaves are falling to the ground



well you've bent your mind you've spent your life

and you've ended up with what?

but you've gone way too far by now to turn around



running fast and you're running blind

but the past is always close behind

a million leaves are falling to the ground

as the night turns to day

and the days fade away
