30 Seconds at a Time
[Verse 1]
There's a spot out by the train tracks
All the local girls and boys like to get stoned
Their minds are filled with destinations
But they ain't nearly brave enough to go alone

[Refrain]
So they wander through the railyard
Makin' faces at the moon
The only trick they've ever been taught to do
To take a breath and close their eyes
Thirty seconds at a time

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]
There's a park outside the city
A former psychic calls her home
She's half as old and twice as pretty
As the doctors misreport would have you know

[Refrain]
She has a vision every morning
She sees the world through busted shards of glass
And sellin' last week's magazine outside the laundromat
Slowin' down traffic at the light
Thirty seconds at a time
