Come on noon
You gotta get on board
Come on, noon train
Come on, need to get out
I said, come on, noon train
Come on, don’t you mess me about
You see
I’ve tried and I found no way to get out
I said, I tried and I found
There’s no comin’ back for me
(No man’s land)
Know you gotta get away
(No man’s land)
Fight and live another day
Caught in a hard rain
‘Cause you know I need to get out
Hey, hey
Head out on the wide plain
Come on, don’t you fool me around
You know I sought and I found
It’s hard to get out
I said, I fought and I found
There’s no comin’ back for me
(No man’s land)
Know you gotta get away
(No man’s land)
Fight and live another day
(No man’s land)
In the middle of the fray
(No man’s land)
Fly, fly, fly away
(No man’s land)
No man’s land
(No man’s land)
I said, there’s no comin’ back for me
(No man’s land)
Know you gotta get away
(No man’s land)
Live to fight on another day
(No man’s land)
In the middle of the fray
(No man’s land)
Fly, fly, fly away, hey
(No man’s land)
No man’s land
You know you gotta get away
(No man’s land)
Live to fight another, fight another day
(No man’s land)
