jason robert brown - the steam train lyrics

billy
you don’t know me, but you will.
let me introduce myself.

submitted for your approval
the future of basketball
the man with the muscle
and the man with the moves

submitted for your approval
the man who’s too fast to fall
the man who can hustle
and the man who can fly
who always is hot
when it’s time for the shot

listen,
any time you want me at all
any rhyme or reason
brother, i’m the brother you call to play.
spring or summer, winter or fall,
any time or season
catch the boy who’s movin’ the ball away –

he’s called the
steam train, comin’ down the track
better watch your step, better watch your back
’cause you’ll see a shadow, fast and black,
then the steam train’s rollin’ by

steam train, chuggin’ down the hill
if you don’t move now, then you never will
he’s on your tail and he’s in for the kill
then the steam train’s rollin’ by…

jessica
he’s better than magic johnson

brooks
the man is all talk, no action

andrea
i love how he holds the ball

billy
my subjects arrive

brooks, andrea & jessica
the train’s got the talent

brooks
but without the technique

andrea, jessica & billy
toot, toot, here comes the ssss…

andrea & jessica
steam train…

billy
i’m takin’ on michael jordan

jessica
he can score it

billy
yeah, yeah, yeah…

jessica
the train’s gonna make it to the
top of the sky

brooks
got nothin’ on michael jordan
he’s ridin’ it for a fall

andrea
lord, i’m fallin’ for the
steam train

brooks
any team’ll
p-ss him right by

brooks, andrea & jessica
prepare for attack
when the train’s on the track!

billy
listen,
i have got my hands on the wheel

all
someone’s got to lead us
takin’ on the train’s gonna seal your fate

billy
watch me as i line up a deal
with nike and adidas

all
all the world is starting to feel the weight
of the
steam train, comin’ down the track
better watch your step, better watch your back

billy
better keep your eyeb-lls open, jack

all
when the steam train’s rollin’ by
steam train, chuggin’ down the hill

billy
if you want to live, baby, don’t stand still

all
he’s on the move and he’s in for the kill
then the steam train’s rollin’ by…

billy
you don’t know me.
the last time i saw my father, i was five years old.
he hadn’t been home for two months.
he came into the apartment at three o clock in the morning
set fire to the drapes and carpets
and then woke up me and my sister
carried us outside
and walked away
while we watched the building burn down.

you don’t know me.
but you will.

billy & company
a new world
just across the river
a new world
where i’ll have it all!
a new world
just around the corner
hear it call!
hear it call!

company
steam train gotta run, gotta move, gotta blow,
gotta leave the bronx behind him
he knows all he’s needin’ to know to fly (he gonna fly!)
steam train, he got places to go
no one ever find him

billy & company
steam train movin’ on with the show
goodbye!
goodbye!
look out, here comes the
steam train, comin’ down the track
better watch your step, better watch your back
’cause you’ll see a shadow, fast and black
then the steam train’s rollin’ by…
steam train, chuggin’ down the hill
if you don’t move now, then you never will
he’s on your tail and he’s in for the kill
then the steam train’s rollin’

steam train’s rollin’
steam train’s rollin’ by…

billy
you don’t know me.
there were twelve boys in my fifth grade cl-ss at sojourner truth.
four of them are in jail
six of them are dead
and gordon connors
works at twin donut on 125th street.

you don’t know me…
but you will.
