Please Hold On While The Train Is Moving Lyrics - The Grand Theatre Volume One - Old 97's

Please hold on while the train is moving 

Well you better hold tight 'cause it's really moving 

Though it's night, it's hot 

And the fingertips know what the brain does not 

Please hold on while the train is moving 

Please hold on 'cause the train is slowing 

Picking up souls who don't know they're going 

We are one mind 

You know we cannot help it, it's the way we're designed 

You don't wanna let go when the train is moving 

Yeah, you tell me that you don't but I know that you love me 

I'm coming down fast so you'd better believe me 

In a state, In a sweat 

And you'll find out if you have not yet 

We have now, we are one 

Set the controls for the heart of the sun 

Yeah, you never going home once the train is moving 

I've been dead on my feet since Sunday 

I've been rolling around on a runway 

And I'm wondering if this thing is gonna fly 

I'm gonna take it to the United Nations 

Or to a rock'n'roll radio station 

And I know you're never gonna leave me for another guy 

I'm on my way 

I'm on my way 

I'm on my way 

You know I'm flying out over the ocean 

You know a body's gotta stay in motion 

But I'm holding you now and I'm never gonna let you go 

I've been dead on my feet since Sunday 

I've been rolling around on a runway 

And I want you now and I wanted to let you know 

I'm on my way 

I'm on my way 

I'm on my way 

Yeah, I'm a little bit afraid that we're out of control now 

There's a turn ahead and I think we might roll now 

Is it time, it may be 

Though it seems a little early to me 

Say a prayer to your god 

That it's gonna even out for the meek and the odd 

Please hold on while the train is moving 

I said please hold on while the train is moving 

Please hold on while the train is moving 

I'm on my way 

I'm on my way 

I'm on my way 

(sound of a hit being taken, then an exhale)
