20 minutes on a train Songtext

von Chris Eckman

Rollin' down the Cascais line
Spirit of eden on the phones
Trackin' dead ahead

The concerte palms
The breezeway steps
Take the sea to task
Till I forget
On balance, this is all impossible

Bless this day
Ain't nothin' left for us
To throw away

Bless this day
Never owned the rain
Never owned a thing
Can't take me anywhere

If the fever's cheap
Why don't it break?
Last year's corruptions
Runnin' late, almost untouchable

A window seat, on the Cascais train
Headed back to the city
Half-convinced I'll stay
And that temporary, still means invincible

Bless this day
And all the things we sanctified
To throw away

Bless this day
Never owned the rain
Never owned a thing
Can't take me anywhere

The wires blur
The sun's in waitin'
The bridge a snake
The river faded
Metallic paint
His name forgotten so quickly
That's a revolution
For you....hmmm
Was anybody ready?.....hmmm
Thats 20 minutes on a train......hmmm
And another 10 minutes waitin'
