Night Train Songtext
von Looptroop

I′m on a night train from Moscow to St Petersburg
Right outside the wall in a bleeding world
Where the biggest band-aid can't make the blood stop
Out of the fort but at the same time not
In the blooming valleys of hopes and aspiration
Dreams are crushed by dope and desperation
′Cause the west is blinded by the fort and

Corrupted by fame, money and fortune

Kids kidnapped by rich pimps
So that we can live out our sick dreams
Stabbed in the back, tortured and raped
Can't go back home 'cause they′re so ashamed

It′s a metaphor for the whole process
The poor take the losses while we get more profits


In a world where the winner takes it all
And happiness only appears in sitcoms
We're crossing the landscape and forcing the speed
The beat is meditative and I′m falling asleep
And when I wake up the train is at the station and
People rushing out of here and questioning life
Again and again wondering like

(Why am I here?)
I don't know man, I′m stuck in limbo
Watching how the things go flashing by
(Why am I here?)
You don't know, looking out the window
In a different lingo asking why
(Why am I here?)
But they know ′cause our fingerprints show

Or they think so, I travel light
(Why am I here?)
On the night train, on the night train

I'm on a night train from Copenhagen to Berlin
Early in the morning, my head hurting from the bourbon
She's in the shower in an hour we on top of the fort
Where they be shopping for sports but we be searching

For something new with baby steps

One day I′ma take her for a walk down the aisle
But there′s many rivers to cross and my lady says


Okay, we ain't had a chance to talk for a while
And I know you love the feeling of leaving
But it don′t matter what country or what region of Sweden
All we got is us and this is what I truly believe in
So I don't know about you but I ain′t running, I'ma find freedom
In our everyday life and make the most
Out of it, we don′t know, this might take us both
Out if the train run off the track, crash and burn
We sat side by side awaiting our turn

And I'm smiling, you right, but still

(Why am I here?)

I don't know girl, I′m stuck in limbo
Watching everything go flashing by
(Why am I here?)
You don′t know, looking out the window
In a different lingo asking why
(Why am I here?)
But they know 'cause our fingerprints show
Or they think so, I travel light
(Why am I here?)
On the night train, on the night train

I′m on a night train from Tangier to Marrakesh
I ain't a rap star here man, I don′t speak Arabic
They looking at me like the hell does he do here
But in a curious way they celebrate New Years
We had to escape the fort
Living close to the border, what are we waiting for?
Two hours from Algeciras, Spain to Port
The same sunny beaches at the same resorts
The harsher refugees that they can't deport
Immigration officer fill out a blank report

Family unknown, where to send the corpse?
Wanna restart their life instead they end it all

And the train keeps running down the line
And the world keeps flashing by the window like we running out of time
It′s a feeling of freedom mixed with a feeling of being trapped
I feel like we travel to beat the map
Stop the time, slam the brakes, jump out the frame
Find a new place without a name
New at least to the white man, untouched and clean I assume
Find out man, ain't no such a thing
And the further we travel it begins to unravel

How the Europeans always wanted to be the king of the castle
And how it affects all continents
How we lost respect and all common sense
And the question remains

(Why am I here?)
I don't know man, I′m stuck in limbo

Watching how the things go passing by
(Why am I here?)
You don′t know, sitting by the window
In a different lingo asking why
(Why am I here?)
But they know 'cause our fingerprints show
Or they think so, I travel light
(Why am I here?)
On the night train, will I write then on the night train

On the night train, will I write then on the night train
On the night train, will I write then on the night train
On the night train, will I write then on the night train
