swimming back against the river
was caught in a net
same dream, same scene every trip
but I keep rising with the tide
a sudden slip
here's my same different ending
bathing in stinging rain
from station to station
a stride through the web
from station to station
defences down
from station to station
with the trust of a child
signs of aggravation
face behind a face
from station to station
got it on this tape
you must have seen it on tv
how I was strung up for all the world to see
so sick, yet so pristine
a 24-hour (black 'n' white) movie
so hard to lie down and turn away
when you're in every scene
on your last station
I bet you can't conceal it done everything you can?
from station to station
'cos we end as we began
and it's as real as anything you've touched or seen
every chance, every chance I take
I take it on my dead-end track
