20 minutes on a train Lyrics

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'
