lyrics

Rachel smiles a soft smile as she combs thru her hair
says I lost my innocence anyway when I was coming up for air
down by the water the deep dark waters of Lake Charles
I was blown to pieces by the possibilities
blinded by the northern stars

And the pages burn
and the road's they U-turn
as the fashions change
it's a daisy chain

Thirty seconds is all it takes
to rearrange your brave face
sixty seconds is all you get
to change the story
you be blessed

Tommy knows the directions
he can smell it in the wind
the path forward is the path less taken
it's just where he was sent
and the playwright with a chip on his shoulder he'll wander the streets
of Paradise, Ohio sizing up the merchandise

And as the subways fail
and the workers bail
when the music stops
the sky drops

Thirty seconds is all it takes
to wipe away your brave face
sixty seconds is all you get
to change your story
you be blessed
Ninety seconds is all we have
from New York City to Tenefly
one hundred eighty seconds and all is change
watch it all go down in flames

As the subways fail
and the people bail
When the music stopped
the sky dropped

Thirty seconds is all it takes
to rearrange your brave face
sixty seconds is all you get
to change the story
you be blessed
Ninety seconds is all we have
from Berlin towers to Dresden shacks
one hundred eighty seconds and all is change
see it all go down in flames
