20th Century Express Lyrics

Screams cry out in the dead of night 
From the crack house across the street 
U're comin' down with a sudden migraine 
And here it is almost 3 
Next door they're fightin' again 
Somebody's done somebody wrong 
And some freak keeps calling up 
Want a quickie on the telephone 

U try and try 2 close your eyes at night 
But all U do is toss and turn until broad daylight 

CHORUS: 
Welcome aboard the 20th Century Express 
Welcome aboard the 20th Century Express 

Fast food chains keep popping up 
Everybody's eatin' on the run 
Hamburgers, French fries, hurry please 
But hold the indigestion 
The rush hour traffic slows U down 
As U race against the clock 
But fasten your seatbelts everyone 
There are no intermediate stops 

U try and try 2 keep pace with the times 
U try and get one step ahead, but U fall 2 steps behind 

CHORUS 

Ooh yeah, all day, on rey, all say, I say, he say, OK, OK {x4} 

U try and try 2 close your eyes at night 
But all U do is toss and turn until broad daylight 

CHORUS {x2} 

Running 2 the crack house 
People gettin' sprung out 
Welcome aboard 
(Welcome, welcome aboard the 20th Century Express) 

Livin' in the fast lane 
2 much cocaine 
Welcome aboard 
(Welcome, welcome aboard the 20th Century Express) 

The world keep revolvin' 
And ain't nobody stoppin' 
Welcome, oh yes 
(Welcome, welcome aboard the 20th Century Express) 

Welcome, welcome 
Welcome aboard the 20th Century Express 

We're livin' 2 fast, y'all 
Babies makin' babies, hear? 
Oh, welcome the 20th Century Express
