John Illsley Railway Tracks
Stage was set so wide and clean
Joker's face could not be seen
Digging through the same old news
Keeping off those midnight blues
No one wants to face the wreck
Rock & roll on your track
When your levels are down so low
Ain't no further place to go
Life doesn't run on railway tracks
Life doesn't run on railway tracks
It twists and turns
It's not white or black
The past goes fast, the present's dear
The future's bright, the pathway is clear
We're all in this game, let's end this race
It takes some time to find your place
A giant step, put one foot out
Find your voice, let out a shout
I must get out of here
For a glass or wine, a glass of beer
Life doesn't run on railway tracks
Life doesn't run on railway tracks
It twists and turns
It's not white or black
Once in bed, the blood flows strong
Feels so good when you belong
Air smells sweet, the wind feels good
In this familiar neighborhood
Walk in the park, I take your hand
You're the one that understands
Let no doubt, has played a part
And you my love, my darling heart
Life doesn't run on railway tracks
Life doesn't run on railway tracks
It twists and turns
It's not white or black
Life doesn't run on railway tracks
Life doesn't run on railway tracks
It twists and turns
It's not white or black
