The sidewalk cracks look wrong but they've been there for so long
I don't even know where they lead
down some dirty sideway street I hear the rhythm of my feet
and I don't know where they're taking me
I've got a pocket full of smokes and a headache full of hopes
and a worn down pair of shoes
the windows in the wall, they don't look my way at all
so I flip a coin to see which side will lose
Chorus:
and the ribbons fall to the floor
like a million shooting stars
I've been shaken to the core but I don't look that way no more
to find some remedy for my heart
The rattle of the train it brings me to my feet again
as it whistles through my soul
the neon lights don't sleep and the well stays pretty deep
and the restless wind blows cold
my cigarette's burned down and its turned my fingers brown
as I watch that train roll by
the stars turn out their lights and through the echo of the night
I hear that lonesome train whistle cry
Chorus
