First class ticket to station unknown
Journey starts, excitement grows
Feeling spoiled, everything new
Journey length; who knows
Straight track, smooth ride
Are we there yet?
Tickets checked, yes this is life
You are on the right track now
Stops? None, unless the cord is pulled
Tracks begin to curve
Blind bends, dark tunnels
Are we there yet?
Bumpy now, feeling sick
Pull the cord? Not yet
Look around, where are they?
Hiding behind their papers and books
Eat and drink, maybe even sleep
How long will I still weep?
Then it’s time, you have arrived
Home at last
I leave the ride
