Pere Ubu - Race the Sun lyrics

I don't know what you're waiting for - Mary is out the door. Why would I lie? Why would I lie? Through the dust and the fading light shall I tell you what I spy? Mississippi-Southern owns the train but I know it's got another name. Why would I lie? Why would I lie? It's a race to the edge of the night. Hmmm, Great Sorrow's got you in its lights. Run, run! Try to catch the sun. Don't be slack - Great Sorrow is on the tracks. Run, run! Try to catch the sun. Don't look back - Great Sorrow is on the track. I don't know what you're waiting for - Mary is out the door. Why would I lie? Why would I lie? When it calls from the edge of the night shall I tell you what I spy? Run, run! Try to catch the sun. Don't be slack - Great Sorrow is on the track. Run, run! Try to catch the sun. Don't look back - Great Sorrow is on your track. I don't know what you call that train - Gone, buddy, that's the name. Gone. Gone. Gone.
