Gabe Lee - 30 Seconds at a Time Lyrics

30 Seconds at a Time
Gabe Lee

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
So they wander through the railyard making faces at the moon.
The only trick they've ever been taught to do: to take a breath and close their eyes
30 seconds at a time.

There's a park outside the city, a former psychic calls her home.
She's half as old and twice as pretty as the doctor's misreport would have you know
She has a vision every morning, she sees the world through busted shards of glass
Sellin last week's magazine outside the laundromat, slowin down traffic at the light
30 seconds at a time

Bumped into Jesus at the diner, where he was blessing a bowl of mac and cheese.
Now there's a man who spends his whole life fighting evil, best fill that boy up
With all the carbs that he can eat.
He says the king's buffet upstairs is overcrowded and the TV's always stuck on CNN.
Says he just wants to catch the score before the work comes in, fast food commercials flicker by
30 seconds at a time.
