Fast Train To Nowhere

VERSE 1
Electronic dating
Never seemed so good
And with the world wide web
Seems we’re all in the neighborhood
So he found her in a search
And they talked about a beach
Where they could meet – uh huh

VERSE 2
Just like him
She’s a blue water sign
How she got to know this
Wasn’t on his mind
All he knows is her pics rock
And she can simply knock
Him off his feet – uh huh

PRE-CHORUS 1
But when it was time to initiate
He wasn’t about to hesitate
And he was on the next rail outta town

CHORUS 1
On a fast train to nowhere
He didn’t know, he didn’t care
All he thought was she’d be waiting there
We’ve seen it all before
We hear about the girl next door
But when he arrived she wasn’t anywhere
The calling of a lonely heart
A lonely calling
Fast train to nowhere
Mm Mm
Ooh Ooh

VERSE 3
She was there
Not just in his mind
Sure that he was who she hoped to find
His profile was clean
And she was certain he was everything
He seemed to be

PRE-CHORUS 2
When it was time to initiate
She wasn’t about to hesitate
Away she went heading down the tracks
She hopped on the…

CHORUS 2
Fast train to nowhere
She didn’t know, she didn’t care
She was sure he’d be waiting there
We’ve seen it all before
An image of the boy next door
When she arrived he wasn’t anywhere
The calling of a lonely heart
A lonely calling
Fast train to nowhere
Mm Mm

BRIDGE
She looked around
He looked around
Here at a beach
Both completely out of reach
Mm Mm

Was this not meant to be?
Were they both living in a fantasy?
Suddenly they both looked up to see
Uh huh

Off in the distance
A silhouette of a distant memory

CHORUS 3
Fast train to nowhere
They didn’t know, they didn’t care
They were sure their love was waiting there
Out of sight, out of mind
They were sure they would find
The one they found and wanted all this time

We’ve seen it all before
Longing for, searching for
The only one that they were hoping for
The calling of a lonely heart
A lonely calling from the start
Did they arrive – only in their minds?
Then suddenly on the sunny shore
Fast train to nowhere
Mm Mm
Ooh Ooh
Fast train to nowhere
Mm Mm
