lyrics

We relied on the tracks to travel over the black lines drawn of maps in-between Germany and Italy. We’ll be riding the rails until we fly back to our country. Most times we’d sit, but on crowded cars we would get kicked out of our seats by reservations which put us on our feet or in aisles or on the floor if there was no opening. When we got off at the wrong stop we’d correct ourselves and get back on the next one. Out the windows we’d watch what we’d miss go by and try to grasp where we came from and how quickly we’ll show up at our next location, a place with new culture and tradition.
