lyrics
8 AM and I feel alone
At the station with my telephone
Staying late working for the man
Nothing changed I’m on the train again
[chorus 1]
What is my name?
(Call me the train man)
How do I ride?
(Riding the train, man)
I’ve lost at this game
A spark with no flame
Is all that’s left of me
Is this really God’s masterplan
On the platform with my breakfast in hand
This is my sixth cup of coffee today
I’m living life the train man way
[chorus 2]
What is my name?
(Call me the train man)
How do I ride?
(Riding the train, man)
I’ve lost at this game
A spark with no flame
Is all that’s left of me
What is my name?
(Call me the train man)
I’m contemplating
(If it’s the way, man)
I used to be cool
Now I’m just a tool
Oh is this my destiny?
[repeat chorus 2]
Riding the train
Feeling the pain
I know that one day we all will be free
At the station with my telephone
Staying late working for the man
Nothing changed I’m on the train again
[chorus 1]
What is my name?
(Call me the train man)
How do I ride?
(Riding the train, man)
I’ve lost at this game
A spark with no flame
Is all that’s left of me
Is this really God’s masterplan
On the platform with my breakfast in hand
This is my sixth cup of coffee today
I’m living life the train man way
[chorus 2]
What is my name?
(Call me the train man)
How do I ride?
(Riding the train, man)
I’ve lost at this game
A spark with no flame
Is all that’s left of me
What is my name?
(Call me the train man)
I’m contemplating
(If it’s the way, man)
I used to be cool
Now I’m just a tool
Oh is this my destiny?
[repeat chorus 2]
Riding the train
Feeling the pain
I know that one day we all will be free

about
X Raiders Nijmegen, Netherlands
On hiatus (2008-2022)
Yes! They're called X Raiders. These five men seek to wreak havoc within the
boundaries of what it means to be rock 'n' roll: a wild and dirty mixture of everything truly heavy, fast and hard, in which the over-the-top Dutch rockers blend 80s metal and modern rock with a devastating under-the-belt attitude; crazy, energetic and powerful!
