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.... |
