Trains to Brazil

I'm just thankful to be facing the day
Nothing really mattered when you called out my name
And I think of you on cold winter mornings, darling
They remind me of when we were in school
And I'll still think of you on cold winter mornings, darling
The prophets and their pawns have had another success
And to those of you who mourn your lives through one day to the next
'Cause days don't get you far when you're gone
Can't you live and be thankful you're here?
In fact nothing really mattered at all
It's 5 o'clock on a Friday morning
Well, let them take you next

One hundred telephones shake and ring
To blow us away but I won't get me down
One of those was someone who knew you
That lives like yours were in the hands of these erroneous fools

When they could never have persuaded me
And I'm wondering why we bother at all
They'll still remind me of when we were in school

And I think about how long it will take them
