8 April 2012
The wheels of life turn slowly, the route ahead is planned
the tracks are strong and shiny, and the engine now is manned
Embarkation has begun on the mystery express
the scenery is vivid, the sky shines with blueness
Wheels are turning faster, the trackside flowers blur
and in the belly of the beast a thrill begins to stir
Heading for the city now the bright lights are a calling
the drivers left the cab and the engine starts a stalling
In the midday city station at the platforms' side
picking up a passenger for the remainder of the ride
A new carraige is attached and off again at last
heading for the suburbs and the city's in the past
Steaming passed the starter homes, terraced & detached
to twighlight by the oceanside, with bungalows and flats
The tracks are getting rusty, the verge has not been cut
through the workhouse district and everything is shut
A dim light through the darkness, shadowed terminal ahead
the engine slows to crawl, and then stops dead!
