Lyrics for Breakdown

I hope this old train breaks down Then I could take a walk around See what there is to see Time is just a melody With all the people in the street Walking fast as their feet can take them I just roll through town And though my windows got a view Well the frame I'm looking through Seems to have no concern for now So for now I I need this Old train to breakdown Oh please just Let me please breakdown Well this engine screams out loud Saying this beat gonna crawl westbound So I don't even make a sound Because it's gonna sting me when I leave this town And all the people in the street That I'll never get to meet If these tracks dont bend somehow And I got no town That I got to get To where I don't need to be So I I need this Old train to breakdown Oh please just Let me please breakdown I need this Old train to breakdown Oh please just Let me please breakdown I want break on down But I can't stop now Let me break in down But you can't stop nothing If you got no control Of the thoughts in your mind That you kept and you know You don't know nothing But you don't need to know The wisdom's in the trees Not the glass windows You can't stop wishing If you don't let go Of the things that you find And you lose, and you know You keep on rolling Put the moment on hold The frame's too bright Put the blinds down low I need this Old train to breakdown Oh please just Let me please breakdown I need this Old train to breakdown Oh please just Let me please breakdown I want break on down But I can't stop now
