Moving On

Another night and your heart is pounding
You take a rest but the beat is surrounding
Coming over you
The city lights in your garters and laces
Another show and you’ve got no traces
Of the life you once knew

Is this the last train now you’re riding on
Is the world passing you by
On your course through the times
Of growth and of pain
Will you learn to take a stand
Could you ever stop on a dream?

Come back to your home where you belong
You don’t know why but you keep moving on

You quench your thirst making love to a cigarette
The heat extends into the depths of your soul
Where no one’s gone before
We play pretend and it’s nothing serious
Our outsides in and our insides out
And we don’t play anymore

Is this the last train now we’re riding on
Is the world passing us by
On our course through the times
Of growth and of pain
Will we learn to take a stand
Could we ever stop on a dream?

Come back to your home where you belong
You don’t know why but you keep moving on
Come back to your home where you belong
You don’t know why but you keep moving on
