No, I'm not color blind
No, I'm not color blind
I know the world is black and white
I know the world is black and white
I try to keep an open mind
I try to keep an open mind
But I just can't sleep on this, tonight
But I just can't sleep on this, tonight
Stop this train
Stop this train
I want to get off and go home again
I want to get off and go home again
I can't take the speed it's moving in
I can't take the speed it's moving in
I know I can't
I know I can't
But, honestly, won't someone stop this train?
But, honestly, won't someone stop this train?
Don't know how else to say it
Don't know how else to say it
I don't want to see my parents go
I don't want to see my parents go
One generation's length away
One generation's longer away
From fighting life out on my own
From fighting life out on my own
So scared of getting older
So scared of getting older
I'm only good at being young
I'm only good at being young
So I play the numbers game
So I play the numbers game
To find a way to say that life has just begun
To find a way to say that life has just begun
Had a talk with my old man
Had a talk with my old man
Said, 'Help me understand'
Said, 'Help me understand'
He said, 'Turn sixty-eight
He said, 'Turn sixty-eight
You'll renegotiate'
You'll renegotiate'
'Don't stop this train
'Don't stop this train
Don't for a minute change the place you're in
Don't change the place you're in for a minute
And don't think I couldn't ever understand
And don't think I couldn't ever understand
I tried my hand
I tried my hand
John, honestly, we'll never stop this train'
John, honestly, we'll never stop this train'
Once in a while, when it's good
Once in a while, when it's good
It'll feel like it should
It'll feel like it should
When you're all still around
When you're all still around
And you're still safe and sound
And you're still safe and sound
And you don't miss a thing
And you don't miss a thing
'Till you cry when you're driving away in the dark
'Till you cry when you're driving away in the dark
Singing, stop this train
Singing, stop this train
I want to get off and go home again
I want to get off and go home again
I can't take the speed it's moving in
I can't take the speed it's moving in
I know, I can't
I know, I can't
'Cause now I see I'll never stop this train
'Cause now I see I'll never stop this train
