lyrics

I heard a friend
Come off the rails
Come off the rails
Come off the rails
I heard a friend
Come off the rails
Come off the rails
Come off the rails

Surely I answered
That’s a good thing
Why
Let me explain
Rails are solid
And they hit
The journey is predestined
That we all must follow some paths
That our destination is unwavering
That we must not take a more interesting route
And that’s why it’s not the end of the world

That he has come off the rails
Come off the rails
Come off the rails
Come off the rails
For he is living his life

Yes they replied
Yes they replied
That he was driving the OA47
From Woking to Guildford
Come off the rails
Come off the rails
Come off the rails
