Song lyrics
I hope this old train breaks down 
Then I could take a walk around 
See what there is to see 
Time is just a melody 
With all the people in the streets 
Walk as fast as their feet can take them 
I just roll through town 
And though my window's got a view 
Well the frame I'm looking through 
Seems to have no concern for now so for now I 

I need this old train to breakdown 
Oh, please just let me please breakdown 

Well this engine screams out loud 
Centipede gonna crawl westbound 
So I don't even make a sound 
Cause it's gonna sting me when leave this town 
And the people in the streets 
That I'll never get to meet 
If these tracks don't bend somehow 
And I got no time that I got to get 
To where I don't need to be so I 

I need this old train to breakdown 
Oh, please just let me please breakdown 
I need this old train to breakdown 
Oh, please just let me please breakdown 

I want to break on down 
But I can't stop now 
Let me break on down 

But you can't stop nothing if you got no control 
Of the thoughts in your mind that you kept and you know 
You don't know nothing but you don't need to know 
The wisdom's in the trees not the glass windows 
You can't stop wishing if you don't let go 
The things that you find and you lose and you know 
You keep on rolling, put the moment on hold 
The frame's too bright, so put the blinds down low 

I need this old train to breakdown 
Oh, please just let me please breakdown 
I need this old train to breakdown 
Oh, please just let me please breakdown 

I want to break on down 
But I can't stop now
