| Rudy’s on a train to nowhere, halfway down the line |
| He don’t wanna get there, but he needs time |
| He ain’t sophisticated, nor well-educated |
| After all the hours he wasted, still he needs time. |
| He needs time — he needs time for livin', |
| He needs time — for someone just to see him. |
| He ain’t had no lovin' |
| For no reason or rhyme |
| And the whole world’s above him. |
| Well it’s not as though he’s fat- |
| No there’s more to this than that- |
| See he tries to play it cool- |
| Wouldn’t be nobodys fool. |
| Rudy thought that all good things comes to those that wait |
| But recently he could see that it may come too late. |
| All through your life, all through the years |
| Nobody loved, nobody cared. |
| So dim the light, dark are your fears |
| Try as I might, I can’t hold back the tears |
| How can you live without love, it’s not fair? |
| Someone said give but I just didn’t dare. |
| What good advice are you waiting to hear? |
| Hearing’s alright for them that’s all there |
| You’d better gain control now |
