The Last Train Home by The Dowling Poole Lyrics
When the surface cracked and the leaks began
Could be that none of us was thinking
When the villains smiled their joyless grin
How strange that some of us were taken in
When insanity was normalised
We whispered “Someone should be notified”
Inhumanity went undisguised
Maybe somehow we’re all desensitised
We were trading on ‘Trend’
Do the breast-stroke through the bile to the end
There were so many battles to fight until all of them
Melded together as one
And if the dust settles the clocks will restart
And a fabric of truth will be spun
And no one takes the last train home
There’s no one on the last train home
Into the blue
Under the moon and the stars that stare silently
Down on the rubble that’s spread on the crust
Blink of an eye in the passing of time
Just a jumble of ashes to ashes and dust
To dust
Could be that none of us was thinking
When the villains smiled their joyless grin
How strange that some of us were taken in
When insanity was normalised
We whispered “Someone should be notified”
Inhumanity went undisguised
Maybe somehow we’re all desensitised
We were trading on ‘Trend’
Do the breast-stroke through the bile to the end
There were so many battles to fight until all of them
Melded together as one
And if the dust settles the clocks will restart
And a fabric of truth will be spun
And no one takes the last train home
There’s no one on the last train home
Into the blue
Under the moon and the stars that stare silently
Down on the rubble that’s spread on the crust
Blink of an eye in the passing of time
Just a jumble of ashes to ashes and dust
To dust
