Downtown Train
Outside another yellow moon
Has punched a hole in the nighttime,yes
I climb to the window, and down to the street,
I''m shining like a new dime

The downtown trains are full
Full of all them Brooklyn girls
They try so hard
To break out of their little worlds

You wave your hand and they scatter like crows
They have nothing that will ever capture your heart
They're just thorns without the rose
Be careful of them in the dark

Can't you hear me now, Can't you hear me now

(Chorus)
Will I see you tonight
On a downtown train
Every night, every night it's just the same

On a downtown train

I know your window and I know it's late
I know your stairs and your doorway
I walk down the streets and past your gate
I stand by the light at the four-way

You watch them as they fall
They're all having them heartattacks
They stay at the carnival
But they'll never win you back

(Chorus)

You leave me lonely

(Chorus-2)
Will I see you tonight
On a downtown train
All my dreams, all my dreams fall like rain

On a downtown train 

(Bass break)

(Chorus)

(
Chorus-2)

On a downtown train

On a downtown train
All my dreams fall like rain
On a downtown train

Ooh....
