[English]

Strange fear I ain't felt for years

The boy's coming and I'm close to tears

I can't let go of you now

Imagination's playing round for free

In my world I take him out for tea

Oh my God, he can't say no

Skipping school, gotta walk for air

I just had to get out of bed

I'm on overload in my head

Train comes, I don't know its destination

It's a one-way ticket to a madman's situation

Train comes, I don't know its destination

It's a one-way ticket to a madman's situation

Life in a dream, time does come true

And in my sleep I think of you

Feather bed by myself

Basically probability

Says that fate's gonna side with me

It's been so long on my shelf

Train comes, I don't know its destination

It's a one-way ticket to a madman's situation

Train comes, I don't know its destination

It's a one-way ticket to a madman's situation

...

The tension is incredible, boy, I'm in charge

You know how I feel for you

Will you stop or will you just keep going

Please don't say, "No, no, no, no, no"

...

Train comes, I don't know its destination (yeah, yeah, yeah)

It's a one-way ticket to a madman's situation (situation)

Train comes, I don't know its destination (I know, I know)

It's a one-way ticket to a madman's situation (situation)

Train comes, I don't know its destination (our secret's safe in bed)

It's a one-way ticket to a madman's situation (situation)

Train comes, I don't know its destination (I know, I know)

It's a one-way ticket to a madman's situation (got me feeling sad)
