   TRAPPED BETWEEN HIM AND THE CITY.HE PACKED A BAG
   AND TOOK ONE SOUTHBOUND OVER THE LINE.
   TRAPPED BETWEEN HIM AND THE PITY,
   HE SUFFERS FOR THOSE UNFAITHFUL TIMES.
   WELL EAST BOUND RIVER RAILWAY RUNS SWIFT AND HARD,
   HE'S SWEARS TONIGHT HE'S GONNA TAKE THAT RIDE.

   RIGHT ON DOWN THE BOULEVARD.
   HE AIN'T GONNA STOP TILL ALLL THE LONLINESS COLLIDES.
   CAUSE IT'S TOO MUCH TONIGHT.
