Lyrics
The second hand is spinning
Feel's like time's slippin'
Drippin' through our fingers
We're movin and we're shakin
Blessed ties we're breakin'
Racin' into the future
Will we ever take the time to look back
Will we ever realize we're not on the right track
We're runnin' out of control
Selling our souls
For a ticket on a runaway train
No matter how far we go
We're moving farther from home
Bound for Babel on a runaway train
The coals are in the fire
All aboard desire
We're rollin' higher
Buildin' the tower
This is human nature
To believe the fable
We're able to match our maker
Maybe somewhere down the line we'll look back
Maybe then we'll realize
We're not on the right track
We're runnin' out of control
Selling our souls
For a ticket on a runaway train
No matter how far we go
We're moving farther from home
Bound for Babel on a runaway train
We're in a deadly human race
Conducting our own destiny
Only God's unchanging grace
Can pull us off this crazy thing
Before it all crashes down
We've got to turn it around
Run for cover from this runaway train
We're runnin' out of control
Selling our souls
For a ticket on a runaway train
No matter how far we go
We're moving farther from home
Bound for Babel on a runaway train
