Rudy's on a train to nowhere, halfway down the line
He don't wanna get there, but he needs time
He ain't sophisticated, nor well-educated
After all the hours he wasted, still he needs timeHe needs time, he needs a 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 himWell, it's not as though he's fat
No, there's more to it than that
See he tried to play it cool
Wouldn't be nobodys foolRudy thought that all good things comes to those that wait
But recently he could see that it may come but too late, too late, too lateAll through your life, all through the years
Nobody loved, nobody cared
So dim the light, dark are your fears
Try as I might, I can't hold back the tearsHow 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 dare
What good advice are you waiting to hear?
Hearing's alright for them that's all there, hearing's alrightYou better not
You'd better gain control now
You'd better show 'em all now
You'd better make or break nowYou'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 nowNow 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
