It was only me who was awake
To see the financial reports from the american markets
Under a huge stars and stripes which hung over an empty wall street
And i didn't really care about the slump or the rally
It didn't mean anything to me
It didn't mean anything to me if
The share prices were bearing up
Under the economic strain

And if they lose some money
Then they lose some money
And i don't really care
Because tonight i'm thinking about much more important things
Tonight i'm thinking about much more important things

Someone once told me 'the world is moving because you are'
And tonight there are people travelling through europe on trains
Looking for something that they've never had before
Wondering if they'll find and if they'll recognise it if they do

And tonight they're thinking about more important things

And they're wondering
If they can keep it if they find it
And if what they get will be what they want
And they're wondering if what they want is what they really need

And they're wondering what will happen if they find what they really want
And what they really need
And they lose it

Will they ever be able to forget or to forgive themselves?

Tonight i'm thinking about much more important things
Tonight i'm thinking about much more important things

And i don't really care about the crash or the rally
I don't really care

And the world will continue to move
And more people will climb on trains
And head into europe

And the world will continue to move
And more people will climb on trains
And head into europe

To search for love
