7:49

Night train right on time

Climb the sea of stairs

absinth brandy wine

spirits moving in the steam

Come partner forest green

the rattle of the rails

you fall into a dream

high clouds in the sky

the room goes racing by

another sleepless night

so you speed into daylight



[chorus]

Here comes another strange town

Here comes another breakdown

And you can run forever

They'll catch you now or never



In the tainted car

and then later in the bar

you see yourself reflected

I wonder who you are

The passengers asleep

dream of secrets that they keep

in the cabin next to you

a woman starts to wake



The things you knew all fall away

The things you had all disappear

As if you were never here



Here comes another strange town 

Here comes another breakdown

And you can run forever

They'll catch you now or never



And when you arrive

your not sure if you're alive

all the passengers are gone

everybody step one

station quiet, station still

nothing moves, nothing will

put your hand up to your face

there are things you can't believe



[chorus]
