Supertramp - Rudy

Rudy's on a train to nowhere,
halfway down the line.
He don't wanna get there,
but he needs time.

He ain't sophisticated
or well-educated.
After all the hours he's wasted,
still he needs time.

He needs time
he needs time for livin',
He needs time
for someone just to see him.

He ain't had no lovin'
For no reason or rhyme
And the whole world's above him.
Well it's not as though he's fat
no, there's more to this than that.
See he tries to play it cool
wouldn't be nobodys fool. Rudy thought that all good things
comes to those that wait.
But recently he could see
that it may come too late.

All through your life,
all through the years.
Nobody loved,
nobody cared.
So dim the light, dark are your fears.
Try as I might,
I can't hold back the tears.
How can you live without love?
It's not fair!
Someone said: give,
but I just didn't dare.
What good advice are you waiting to hear?
Hearing's alright

You'd better
gain control now.
You'd better show'em all now.
You'd better make or break now.
You'd better give and take now.
You'll have to push and shove now.
You'll have to find some love now.
You'd better
gain control now.

Now he's just come out the movie,
numb of all the pain.
Sad but in a while he'll soon be
back on his train...
