lyrics

There is stress on the strands, the bands that bind this freight intact.
Since when was a working engine the thing that keeps a train from moving?

(I know where you live.)

There is stress on the brakes, too many false alarms and false takes.
Since when was not slipping on the tracks the thing that was holding us back?

(I know where you live.)

There's no rest for these strands--
We're too used to taking the mileage over the best.
And since when was it discipline to know where you live?

(I know where you live.)
