Ordinary Day Songtext
von The Gallows Dance

I′m walking on the beaten path
Whistling out of tune
Thinking of the past and present blues
Sadness and regret
Growing everyday
Crushing any efforts to stay sane
I've been like this forever
Forever and a day
There will be better times ahead, they say
But it′s been like this forever
Forever and a day
It's just an ordinary day

The birds of prey
Feasting on the rails again
It's an ordinary day
You give rhythm to my train


Brakeman hollered, all aboard
We ought to leave real soon
I hear the bells and steam whistle′s tune
We′re heading to the darkness
Through the night and rain
These paths, to me, they start to look the same
Let's keep this machine moving
We are all just heading home
Train filled with stories unknown
Last night I saw the birds again
Pecking on the rails
It′s just an ordinary day

The birds of prey
Feasting on the rails again
It's an ordinary day
You give rhythm to my train

I hear the bells and whistle
Tonight I′m heading home
At least in this I will not be alone
These days have felt like years
Thoughts flicker through my brain
I know this is the path that leads to shame
Please keep the machine moving
I just wanna end my days
We all just want to find a better place
I've been like this forever
Forever and a day
It′s just an ordinary day


The birds of prey
Feasting on the rails again
It's an ordinary day
You give rhythm to my train

The beacon of light
Shows your frightened face
Please go find yourself a better place
I try to hit the brakes
But there's not much left to do
Don′t make me feel the same way as you do
I′m staring eyes wide open
To the blood red morning sky
It's time to sing your song again magpie
And by the dawn this is the place
Where songbirds come to sing
They fill the air with sense of early spring

The birds of prey
Feasting on the rails again
It′s an ordinary day
You give rhythm to my
The birds of prey
Feasting on the rails again
It's an ordinary day
You give rhythm to my train
