The Train
King's X · Best of King's X [1997]
Leave all your bags behind and tighten up your metal belt.
Last time aboard the train that goes around the world.
Last time aboard the train.
Last time aboard the train that goes around the world.
Around the world.
You leave us all behind, you start to feel the pain.
(last time aboard the train...)
Don't try to take the ride, sit back and let it rain.
(last time aboard the train....)
Last time aboard the train that goes around the world.
Last time aboard the train.
Last time aboard the train that goes around...
flying ... around the world ... flying.
Last time aboard the train that lives inside my world.
Last time aboard the train. I'm going 'round the world.
