Keep in track

keep in track, keep in track,
says the machinist
keep in track, keep in track
don't let it fall
don't get lost
don't let them come
don't mess it up
keep in track
i'm coming
i'm passing
over you, over the trails, over the trains
keep in track
i'm going over the abyss
i'm going over the mud
i'm going through the dark

follow me, follow me
don't let it catch you
don't fall
keep in track
follow my tracks
if you don't pay attention
it will run over you
it'll swallow you
it'll get you in pieces
keep in track
follow me
listen to my voice

i'm the one that operates the machine
the one that keeps the train running
keep in track!
i have my eyes over you
i'm watching you
don't dance near the trees
don't talk too loud near the bushes
don't go near the madman's house
cause he can come out

run away
but keep in track
i'm passing by
you can jump in and go with me
or stay and face the night
i will help you
and protect you
because i'm the machinist man
the one that conducts the train

keep in track!
