Downtown Train

Outside, another yellow moon
Has punched a hole in the nighttime, yeah
I climb from the window and down to the street
And I'm shining like a new dime
Downtown trains are full with all those 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'll ever capture your heart
They're just thorns without the rose
Be careful of them in the dark
Oh, if I was the one
You chose to be your only one, only one
Can't you hear me now

Will I see you tonight
On a downtown train?
Well, every night is just the same
Don't leave me lonely now

I know your window and I know it's late
I know your stairs and your doorway
I walk past your street and by your gate
I stand by the light of the four-way
You watch 'em all fall down
Baby, they all have heart attacks
They stay at the carnival
But they'll never win you back

Will I see you tonight
On a downtown train?
Where every night
Every night is just the same, baby
Will I see you tonight
On a downtown train?
All of my dreams just fall like rain
Oh baby, on a downtown train

Will I see you tonight
On a downtown train?
Where every night is just the same
Oh, baby
Will I see you tonight
On a downtown train?
All of my dreams just fall like rain
Baby, on a downtown train
Baby, on a downtown train
On a downtown train
