Please Hold On While The Train Is Moving - 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
