Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Rudy's on a train to nowhere
Halfway down the line
He don't wanna get there but he needs time
[Verse 2]
He ain't sophisticated
Nor well educated
After all the hours he wasted, still he needs time
[Verse 3]
He needs time
He needs time for livin'
He needs time
For someone just to see him
[Verse 4]
He ain't had no lovin'
For no reason or rhyme
And the whole world's above him
Well, it's not as though he's fat
No, there's more to this than that
See, he tries to play it cool
Wouldn't be nobody's fool
[Verse 5]
Rudy thought
That all good things
Comes to those that wait
But recently
He could see
That it may come too late
Too late, too late
[Verse 6]
All through your life, all though the years
Nobody loved, nobody cared
So dim the light, dark are your fears
Try as I might, I can't hold back the tears
How can you live without love, it's not fair?
Someone said give but I just 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 alright for them that's all
You'd better gain control now, you'd better show 'em all now
You'd better make or break now, you'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 now
[Verse 7]
Now 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
