Lyrics

Walk in the club, there’s a band on stage
Well, it may sound funny, not on the same page
Guitar cuts out, they share a look
Singer gets mad, the crowd get hooked
Drums speed up, bass slows down
Eyes start watching all around, it’s a train wreck

Everybody loves a train wreck, carnage all over the track

The excitement grows now they’re off the rails
No slowing down once the brakeman fails
A string goes snap, a strap comes loose
The microphone cuts, queue crowd abuse
A cymbal cracks, the lights go down
Ears are listening all around to a train wreck

Everybody loves a train wreck, carnage all over the track
It’s a train wreck, who doesn’t love a train wreck?
Fascinating to observe

Every band has them from time to time
The judge rules hard on musical crime
Some don’t recover, some make the most
They haunt the passengers like railyard ghosts
Superstitious of a good sound check
Only the strong climb out a wreck
Coming down the line it’s a train wreck
