Version City - The Clash

There is a train at Version City

Waiting for the rhythm mail

If you can jump then jump right now

She can pull you through to better days

Is that the train that the speak off

The one I heard in my younger days

All great bluesmen have rode her

I’m jumping up gonna ride that train

There’s a lonely soul out on the crossroads

He’s waiting there in the pouring rain

He’s looking for that great ride yeh

That’ll take him to oh what’s her name

So I rode that train from Version City

For ninety-nine an’one half days

Never heard such rhythm sound

It was in my soul which was on the train

We went straight through Syndrum Inc.

Up an’over the Acapella Pass

Then Gibson Town and Fenderville

All stations to the Mesa Boogie Ranch

We saw that soul out on the cross roads

Waitin’there in the pouring rain

We called hey engine slow your rhythms

See he wants to ride the version train

We rode that train from Version City

For ninety-nine and one half years

I never seen such funky country

While riding with the engineers

Could not fill no application

Before I rode this rhythm train

Could not work at my station

Before I rode the version train

There is a train at Version City

Waiting for the rhythm mail

If you can jump then jump right now

She can pull you through to better days
