I woke up to the sound of a freight train in my mind I put toothpaste on my toast and left the coffee behind I'm walking up the road but I'm heading south The city never talks, it either whispers or shouts I'm just checking in with you before I check out There's a man on the corner selling dreams of satin and gold Yeah, I'm trying to get a handle but I can't get a hold I'll take another drink when it's on the house The silver tongued preacher couldn't heal my doubts I'm just checking in with you before I check out Yeah, I'm checking out I'm checking out I'm checking out I'm just checking in with you before I check myself out I caught a ride on a comet that was heading from east to west I'm leaving this city with no forwarding address Yeah, I had a bad taste that was in my mouth It used to be good but I had to spit it out I'm just checking in with you before I check out I'm checking out Yeah, I'm checking out I'm checking out, out, out, out, out Yeah, I'm checking in with you before I check myself out Gonna write you a postcard from the oceans in my mind Gonna stick to the story and keep it all in line Yeah, I'm breathing fire water and I'm up in smoke I wish I could see you so I could share this joke I'm just checking in with you before I check out I'm checking out I'm checking out I'm checking out, out, out, out, out I'm just checking in with you before I check myself out
