[Intro] Chugga-chugga, lift the steel, Tell me, baby, is this real? [Verse 1] I’ve read the smoke above the rooftops I’ve watched the signals change But I can’t build a road to nowhere When the station has no name A blueprint needs a steady hand If we’re gonna reach the "promised land" [Pre-Chorus] Heavy iron, swinging low, I can make this engine go! I’ve got fire enough to spare Give me something I can follow And I swear I’ll get us there [Chorus] Name the station I’ll build the tracks Tell me where we’re going I will carry all the rest Over broken ground Through the black Across every ruined bridge I’ll lay the rails myself But give me a destination Give me one thing that is true Name the station And I’ll build the tracks to you [Verse 2] You say the train is moving slow You say there ain't a track You stand there with your ticket folded Like you might still turn back But a train can’t roll on an empty guess, Give me a "No" or give me a "Yes"! [Bridge] Stomp, clap, lift the spade, This is how the future's made. Stomp, clap, clear the view, I’m building this path straight to you! [Chorus] Name the station I’ll build the tracks Tell me where we’re going I can carry all the rest Over broken ground Through the black Across every ruined bridge I’ll lay the rails myself But give me a destination Give me one thing that is true Name the station And I’ll build the tracks to you [Outro] I can shovel through the rubble I can work until I bleed But I cannot lay a railway If you don't tell me what you need Just name the station, baby... I've got the shovel ready.
