Rudy's on a train to nowhere Halfway down the line He don't want to get there But he needs time
He ain't sophisticated Nor well-educated And after all the hours he wasted Still he needs time
He needs time He needs time for livin' He needs time For someone just to see him
He ain't had no lovin' For no reason or rhyme And the whole world's above him
Well, it's not as though he's fat No, there's more to it than that See, he tries to play it cool Wouldn't be nobody fool
Rudy thought that all good things comes to those that wait But recently, he could see that it may come too late Too late Too late
All through your life All through the years Nobody loved Nobody cared
So dim the light Darken the fears Try as I might, I can't hold back the tears
How can you live without love? It's not fair! Someone said 'give', but I just didn't dare I didn't dare I didn't care
What good advice are you waiting to hear? Hearing's alright for them that's all there Hearing's alright
You'd better gain control now You'd better show 'em all now You'd better make or break now You'd better give and take now You'll have to push and shove now You'll have to find some love now You'd better gain control now
Now he's just come out the movie Numb of all the pain Sad, but in a while he'll soon be back on his train Back on his train
Hide in your shell 'Cause the world is out to bleed you for a ride What will you gain? Making your life a little longer
Heaven or hell Was the journey cold that gave you eyes of steel? Shelter behind Painting your mind and playing joker
Too frightening to listen to a strαnger Too beautiful to put your pride in dαnger You're waiting for someone to understand you
But you've got demons in your closet And you're screaming out to stop it Saying life's begun to cheat you, friends are out to beat you Grab on to what you can scramble for
Don't let the tears linger on inside now 'Cause it's sure time you gained control If I can help you If I can help you, just let me know
Well let me show you the nearest signpost To get your heart back up and on the road If I can help you If I can help you, just let me know
All through the night, as you lie awake and hold yourself so tight What do you need? A secondhand movie star to tend you? I, as a boy, believed the saying, 'the cure for pain is love' How would it be if you could see the world through my eyes?
Too frightening The fire's becoming colder Too beautiful To think you're getting older
You're looking for someone to give an answer But what you see is just illusion, you're surrounded by confusion Saying life's begun to cheat you, friends are out to beat you Grab on to what you can scramble for
