Stay Away (Old White Train)
The Fall · Other Songs - The Fall
When i was young, why i just, yeah, really knew it all
So if you'll listen to an old dog bark
You might see that hole before you fall
I'm gonna lay something on you, then i'm gonna move on out
Gonna lay something on you, moving on out
You can take it or leave it, i know what i'm talking about
I've damn felt the pain
I'm beaten down by the pouring rain
But it hard to get off the old white train
Yeah, the old white train costs a lot to ride
Your heart, your soul and even your pride
Damn sure forever, it'll freeze your brain
Yeah, take a little advice, stay away from the old white train

Damn sure forever, it'll freeze your brain
So take a little advice, stay away from the old white train
Take a little advice, stay away from the old white train
