lyrics

verse 1....everybody has a special place they'll remember till the end of days
a place they came to find themselves where true frendships were born
its all about the moments that were spent outside of time
leaving traces of ourselves in lovely places

chorus....this is now an express train
if you are not going to pork chop hill get off at the next stop
if you dont want to be roasted like a fully-dressed pheasant
this is the last exit

verse 2 no pictures, no recordings, what happens here remains here
it is ours for a moment and then it disappears
the end of tradition, the birth of innovation
the last exit of escape from a suicided nation

verse 3 .....eve and her coven of cowboys, sit at the table round
the click of the chess board timer the metronome of the underground
on monday the sign ups start early for singers to sing their three songs
on wednesday the poets are hoping to find a place where they feel they belong

bridge ...tor de kon plays the sunlight sonata on the spinet out by the back stairs
charles manson is eating some hot apple pie
while irv eyeballs the hips and the squares
pill popping, table hopping, kilo copping kids
i cant believe we got away with all the things that we did

verse 3.....we started out as fugitives and ended as refugees
writing songs of revolution all thats left is elegys
now at each re-union we sing the songbook for the missing
and we'll keep on singing till the last of us is gone
