Lyrics

[Verse 1] I found a picture of you, oh oh oh oh What hijacked my world that night To a place in the past we've been cast out of? oh oh oh oh Now we're back in the fight [Chorus] We're back on the train Oh, back on the chain gang [Verse 2] A circumstance beyond our control, oh oh oh oh The phone, the TV, and the news of the world Got in the house like a pigeon from hell, oh oh oh oh Threw sand in our eyes and descended like flies [Chorus] Put us back on the train Oh, back on the chain gang [Bridge] The powers that be that force us to live like we do Bring me to my knees when I see what they've done to you But I'll die as I stand here today knowing that deep in my heart They'll fall to ruin one day for making us part [Verse 3] I found a picture of you, oh oh oh oh Those were the happiest days of my life Like a break in the battle was your part, oh oh oh oh In the wretched life of a lonely heart [Chorus] Now we're back on the train Oh, back on the chain gang
