Milan welcomes us with crossed arms
Bologna's got an old station at its heart
Venice sinking, beauty overflowing
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
And Rome breaks and comes back together
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
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
