20th Century Express

Lyrics

[Verse 1:] Screams cry out in the dead of night From the crack house across the street You're comin' down with a sudden migraine And here it is almost 3 Next door they're fightin' again Somebody's done somebody wrong And some freak keeps calling up Wantin' a quickie on the telephone You try and try to close your eyes at night But all you do is toss and turn until broad daylight [Chorus:] Welcome (a-welcome) aboard the 20th Century Express Welcome (a-welcome) aboard the 20th Century Express [Verse 2:] Fast food chains keep popping up Everybody's eatin' on the run Hamburgers, French fries, hurry please But hold the indigestion The rush hour traffic slows you down As you race against the clock But fasten your seatbelts everyone There are no intermediate stops You try and try to keep pace with the times You try and get one step ahead, but you fall two steps behind CHORUS Ooh yeah, all day, on rey, all say, I say, he say, ok, ok {x4} You try and try to close your eyes at night But all you do is toss and turn until broad daylight CHORUS {x2} Running to the crack house People gettin' sprung out Welcome aboard (Welcome, a-welcome aboard the 20th Century Express) Livin' in the fast lane Too much cocaine Welcome aboard (Welcome, a-welcome aboard the 20th Century Express) The world keep revolvin' And ain't nobody stoppin' Welcome oh yes (Welcome, a-welcome aboard the 20th Century Express) Welcome, welcome Welcome aboard the 20th Century Express We're livin' too fast, y'all Babies makin' babies, here Oh, welcome the 20th Century Express
