looptroop - night train lyrics

Loading...

intro:
yo, ah
yes, ahey
come on

verse one:
i’m on a night train from moscow to s: t petersburg
right outside the wall in the bleeding world
where the biggest band aid can’t make the blood stop
part of the fort but at the same time not
in the blooming valleys of hopes and aspiration
dreams are crushed by dope and desperation
cause the west is blinded by the fort and
corrupted by fame, money and fortune
kids kidnapped by rich pimps
so that we can live out our sick dreams
stabbed in the back? tortured and raped
can’t go back home cause they’re so ashamed
it’s a metaphor for the whole process
the poor take the losses while we get more profits
in a world where the winner takes it all
and happiness only appears in sitcoms
we’re crossing the landscape and forcing the speed
the beat is meditative and i’m falling asleep
and when i wake up the train is at the station and
people rushing out, i hear them questioning life
again and again wondering like

chorus:
why am i here? – i don’t know man i’m stuck in limbo
watching how the things go flashing by
why am i here? – you don’t know looking out the
window
in a different lingo asking why
why am i here? – they know? cause our fingerprints
show
or they think so, i travel light
why am i here? – on a night train, on a night train.

verse two:
i’m on the night train from copenhagen to berlin
early in the morning, my head hurting from the
bourbon
she’s in the shower, in an hour we’re on top of the
fort
where they be shopping for sport, but we be searching
for something new with baby steps
one day i might take her for a walk down the aisle
but there’re many rivers to cross and my lady says:
ok, we ain’t had the chance to talk for a while
and i know you love the feeling of leaving
but it don’t matter what country or what region of
sweden
all we got is us, and this is what i truly believe
in.
so i don’t know about you, but i ain’t running
i might find freedom in our everyday life and make the
most of it
we don’t know this might take us both out
if the train run off the track, crash and burn
we sat side by side awaiting our turn!
? and i’m smiling, you’re right, but still?

chorus

verse three:
i’m on a night train from tangier to marrakech
i ain’t a rap star here man i don’t speak arabic
they looking at me like the h-ll does he do here
but in a curious way
to celebrate new year’s we had to escape the fort
living close to the border what are we waiting for?
two hours from algeciras, spain – the port
the same sunny beaches at the same resorts
that wash up refugees that can’t get deport
immigration officer fill out a blank report
family: unknown, where to send the corpse?
wanna restart their life instead they end it off
and the train keeps running down the line
and the world keeps flashing by the window like we’re
running out of time
it’s a feeling of freedom mixed with the feeling of
being trapped
i feel like we travel to beat the map
stop the time, slam thee breaks, jump out the frame
find a new place without a name
new, at least to the white man, untouched and clean
i soon find out man, ain’t no such thing
and the further we travel it begins to unravel
how the europeans always wanted to be thee king of the
castle
and how it affects all continents? how we lost
respect and all common sense
and the question remains:

why am i here? i don’t know man i’m stuck in limbo
watching how the things go p-ssing by.
why am i here? you don’t know sitting by the window
in a different lingo asking why:
why am i here? they know? cause our fingerprints
show
or they think so, i travel light.
why am i here? on the night train, well all right
then,
on the night train? come on!

outtro:
on the night train, well all right then,
on the night train?
on the night train, well all right then,
on the night train? come on!
on the night train, well all right then,
on the night train?

(conrado kask)
