Erie Lackawanna |
This is the room where they were born |
All of the kids grown up so long now |
And if I’m quiet, I can hear them fight |
The only real sound is that whistling train at night |
It’s the only thing that has stayed the same |
The lonely whine of a New York train |
Used to hear it coming for me in dreams |
But now it just sings me to sleep, it seems |
I can hear a wrecking ball coming for the house |
See a wrecking ball gonna tear it down |
In this kitchen, we would laugh and sing |
Now I eat alone at Burger King |
My wife used to come home and cook the meals |
Now my daughter comes weekly to feed me pills |
I can hear a wrecking ball coming for the house |
See a wrecking ball gonna tear it down |
I can hear a wrecking ball coming for the house |
See a wrecking ball gonna tear it down |
Used to run through fields to put pennies on the track |
Now it’s just big houses with pools out back |
They’ll bulldoze this house when I am gone |
And no one will be here to sing that old train song |
I can hear a wrecking ball coming for the house |
See a wrecking ball gonna tear it down |
I can hear a wrecking ball coming for the house |
See a wrecking ball gonna tear it down |
I can hear a wrecking ball coming for the house |
See a wrecking ball gonna tear it down |
