The One on the Track Lyrics

Livin' wild and free, Perth, 1999

You were laying on your back

Out on the commuter train line

I walked out to see what was going on

You said nothing, and I didn't stay long

Before I left, I told you to do up your fly

I said because that's no way to die

Back on the platform, "five minutes" I heard the voice say

Ran out to tell you the train is on its way

But when I got there, I was too late

You tried to stand, but it was fate

I'll never forget that sickening sound

And you layin' there on the ground

And I heard a voice implore

Why didn't you do more

Why didn't you do more

Because if I was the one on the track

I would want you to come back

I would want you to come back

And I need you, please come back
