Milan welcomes us with crossed arms
A half smile from Europe
Bologna's got an old station at its heart
And love songs for later
Venice sinking, beauty overflowing
Mystery abounds in Turin
Downtown Florence a girl dances and celebrates spring
There's a train that never stops
It never changes, never quits
It's a train that's never once been on time
That bit of heartache
And Rome breaks and comes back together
It's not how we think
There's an old bum who offers us a drink
Then he laughs at what we are
And Naples is an island always and forever
And you hug me tighter
You ask me what we're made of
'Cause you already know the answer
There's a train that never stops
It never changes, never quits
It's a train that's never once been on time
And in Bari and Palermo between heaven and hell
You can't always make a choice
The sea pushes, the coast tightens
The sign, once upon a time
It's a train that never stops
It never changes, never quits
It's a train that's never once been on time
