From the recording GREATEST HITS
Lyrics
There’s a crazy sense of desperation running through my head
It’s like the itchy skin on the back of a snake
I’ll die if it’s not shed
I need a rock to crawl under
I need to touch the thunder
All I do is sit and wonder
Who I am
I need to roam across my mind
I need to totally unwind
Perhaps someday
I’ll finally find me
Fly, locomotive fly
The hills are packed
Your rails are cracked
So climb on your wings and try
Hey hey, fly
Locomotive fly
You think you can, you know you can
I’ve got the devil’s heartbeat, pumping black blood
Through my wretched veins
I’ve got the power of God above me crying
Bound in golden chains
I need to break out of this tomb
Curl up inside a virgin womb
And pray the eyes of age
Don’t come and try to blind me
I found myself embraced in silence
Deep within my mind
It was the sadness of the battle hymn
The tragedy of time
It was the cry of generations lost
The candle of mankind
With the wick still smoldering with raging fire
And the wax left cold behind
