Locomotive Lightning

Now that the reservoir is empty
Now that the reservoir is dry
I’m letting go of the memory
I’m letting go of the lie

Now that the water level’s dropping
Now that the water level’s low
My feet are gonna do the talking
And I’m finally gonna go

Locomotive, locomotive lightning
Locomotive, leave this town behind
Now that California’s burning
Locomotive, take me down the line

Now that the shopping mall’s abandoned
Now that the shopping mall is closed
I’m gonna make out like a bandit
I’m gonna get some brand new clothes

I’m gonna get a new tuxedo
I’m gonna get a brand new face
I’m gonna make like a torpedo
And crash into a brand new place

Now that the track ahead is bending
Now that the track ahead is curved
Now that doom is impending
I’d get out if I only had the nerve 

I’m gonna spend all of my earnings
I’m gonna blaze a brand new trail
I know I’ll never be returning
Once I go out on the rails
