I found a picture of you
And it hijacked my world that night
To a place in the past we've been cast out of
Woah-oh, now we're back in the fight

Yes, we're back on the train, yeah-yeah
Oh, back on the chain gang

Circumstance beyond our control (Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh)
The phone, the TV, and the news of the world
Got in the house like a pigeon from hell (Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh)
Threw sand in our eyes and descended like flies

It put us back on the train, yeah-yeah
Woah-oh, back on the chain gang

The powers that be that force us to live like we do
It brings me to my knees when I see what they've done to you
And I'll die as I stand here today knowing that deep in my heart
They'll fall to ruin one day for making us part

I found a picture of you (Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh)
Those were the happiest days of my life (Oh, oh-oh)
Like a break in the battle that was your part (Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh)
The wretched life of a lonely heart

Now we're back on the train, yeah-yeah
Yes, we're back on the train
Girl, we're back on the train
Back on the chain gang (Woah)
Back on the chain gang
