Seven forty nine Night train right on time Climb the steel stairs Absinthe brandy wine Spirits moving in the steam Compartment forest green The rattle of the rails You fall into a dream High clouds in the sky Moon goes racing by Another sleepless night So you speed into daylight Here comes another strange town Here comes another breakdown And you can run forever They'll catch you now or never In the dinner car And then later in the bar You see yourself reflected I wonder who you are The pa**engers asleep Dream of secrets that they keep In the cabin next to you A women starts to weep Hour by hour by day Things you knew all fall away
Things you have all dissappear 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 You're not sure if you're alive All the pa**engers are gone Everybody except one Station quiet station still Nothing moves and nothing will Put your hand up to your face There are things you can't replace Here comes another strange town Here comes another breakdown And you can run forever They'll catch you now or never Here comes another strange town Here comes another breakdown And you can run forever They'll catch you now or never
