A cold Chicago skyline
Dark when they arrived
Hopping off a boxcar near the riverside
They were greeted at the station
With dandelion dreams
Waiting for a windy ride through the winter scene

From factories flew the whistle
From classrooms called the bell
From churches crashed the hour chimes and the organ swell
Head against the window
Laughter down the hall 
Evening engines echoing right through it all 

Maybe down, maybe down, maybe down the track
Someone else’ll be a’running back
But can you change so you stay the same
With the speed you need to beat that train
Back home again before you feel the pain
No one is the driver at wheel of the runaway train
     
They dwelled above a diner
Their palms were paved with stone
They thought they lived within a world they could call their own
The calendar exploded
There was thunder in the sun
They slept below a light bulb in the starway slum

From highways moaned the motors
From sidewalks clanked the canes 
From rooftops trailed the phantoms through the raspy rain
A cold Chicago skyline
Dark when they arrived
Hopping off a boxcar near the riverside

Maybe down, maybe down, maybe down the track
Someone else’ll be a’running back
But can you change so you stay the same
With the speed you need to beat that train
Back home again before you feel the pain
No one is the driver at wheel of the runaway train
