| There’s no more trains going that way
|
| There’s no more trains coming this way
|
| You better make your way home, son
|
| There’s something going down in London
|
| Well, that ain’t gonna stop me
|
| So I step out the station and what do I see?
|
| Traffic for days
|
| Let me walk a bit and I’ll see where it get me
|
| Then it all went slow motion, everything slow motion
|
| First came the flash of lights then the sound of explosion
|
| And we’re still in slow motion, we’re still in slow motion
|
| On these streets where I played
|
| And these trains that I take, I saw fire
|
| But now I’ve seen the city change in
|
| Oh, so many ways, since the days of fire
|
| Since the days of fire
|
| Now I’m on the train, going that way
|
| There were too many people coming this way
|
| Delayed trains, delayed trains
|
| Didn’t plan for death on the subway
|
| So I step out the station
|
| Brazilian name all over TV
|
| Realization, I was on the next train
|
| Could’ve been me
|
| Then it all went slow motion, everything slow motion
|
| First the flash of light then the rise of emotion
|
| And I’m still in slow motion, I’m still in slow motion
|
| On these streets where I played
|
| And these trains that I take, I saw fire
|
| But now I’ve seen the city change in
|
| Oh, so many ways, since the days of fire
|
| Since the days of fire
|
| One day going that way, one day going this way
|
| Those summer days, that crazy phase
|
| Like a jack-knifed car on the highway
|
| Just two mad situations
|
| Fire on the news, fire on TV
|
| A bus, a train station
|
| The crossfire sights of destiny
|
| Now it’s all gone slow motion, everything slow motion
|
| The lights gone out, I feel no more emotion
|
| I’m all out of emotion, I’m out of emotion
|
| On these streets where I played
|
| And these trains that I take, I saw fire
|
| But now I’ve seen the city change in
|
| Oh, so many ways, since the days of fire
|
| Since the days of fire |
