Silver Streak ft. Mark McClure & Curt Taylor Lyrics

There's a train that goes to nowhere, it's called the Silver Streak

The ride is rough, the fare is high, when blue sky's what you seek

And anyone can get on board on any city street, when the Silver Streak to nowhere

Blows, it's horn so sweet

He meets you on the platform to take you for a ride

First trip's just a nickel to turn you on inside, but then just try to get off

you'll wake up with a scream and wonder how this nightmare once was a magic dream

Slowly dying every time you stick a needle in your vein

And curse each day you have to ride the Silver Streak again

The Silver Streak rolls on and on, it stops in every town

The lonely and the desperate will always come around

Now ask yourself the question, am I dead or still alive

When you cannot answer, then you know you won't survive

Slowly dying every time you stick a needle in your vein

And curse each day you have to ride the Silver Streak again

And it's time to push another deadly needle in your vein

And curse each day you have to ride the Silver Streak again
