as slow as rapid city   we must be gathering speed   here for something   trained for these tracks   but afraid of the frieght   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.
