Pedestrian Slow

Remain on the train
The subway sign says
In case of evacuation
Like repeating refrains the irony plays
Displaying the contradiction
Is this within some jurisdiction
Would I freeze into a victim
Or be one of those who fled

You're just like a train you know
Racing the hours
Maybe I wanna go
Pedestrian slow
Picking flowers
This isn't 'bout trains you know
You're fading away
It feels like I won't be able to play
For a month

Who would stay to burn alive
For lack of further instructions
What if the driver is dead or afraid
Or just cannot handle confusion
Who's then to offer solutions
Life-saving illusions
When hell is coming

You're just like a train you know
And your words can be fire
But it's not your strength I see
It's your weakness
So I just don't buy it
This isn't 'bout trains you know
You're fading away
It feels like I won't be able to play
For a month
