any land worth living in

only a fool would want to be king

least in the land of the deaf

i suppose you can say most anything

​

give a man a gun

he might rob a bank

give a man a bank

he sure gonna rob everyone

​

if my story was ever mine to tell

i'd like to tell it true

i'd rather it was never told at all

than just to sell it to you

​

CHORUS

but there's one last train

we can all jump on

to carry us through the night

till we reach the dawn 

​

you use to think this was the future

now you only wish it was the past 

it's a present built for no one

so let's give it back to the first from the last 

​

​

you can't afford the city

you can't afford the town

can't even afford to end it all

as all your debts will just be handed down

​

better to keep your compass spinning

better to keep your stars unknown 

find your own constellations

and chart your own way home 

​

CHORUS

but there's one last train

gonna roll through town

and we'll be hanging off the back

when it all goes down

​

every sunset's bleeding out

on a sidewalk bruised with rain

there's a fire in my lungs

that no breath can tame 

​

i'll give this song an ending

i'll give it more everyday

till it's got nothing but endings

with no beginnings on the way
