Subway
Eighty two steps down
Counted from the entrance
Seventy year old man
Selling hot dogs
For family's maintenance
Tons of tickets on the floor
Homeless people
Shooting smack inside the bathroom stall
Will we ever sleep tonight?
Today I wish I would
Have taken a cab
Although the only thing
I can afford
Is a pay per ride metro card
Late night subway ride
Streets are storming outside
The station's filled with vagabonds
Downtown's built on wretched lives
The subway just passed by
Would you buy a ticket for me?
And we'll hop on the next one
Teenage psycho kid
Only father's offspring
Metropolis got him pinned down
Years of dreaming are gone
Reality's knocking
On his four roommate apartment door saying
"Now's your time so get up boy, don't whine"
Your slanted eyes
Got me mesmerized
You'll swipe me through
Traditional NY view
From all places
I've looked for you
Found you here
Underground land of bloom
The subway lines
The city's veins
Two blood types
Will collide
Will collide
Late night subway ride
Streets are storming outside
The station's filled with vagabonds
Downtown's built on wretched lives
The subway just passed by
Would you buy a ticket for me?
And we'll hop on the next one
Counted from the entrance
Seventy year old man
Selling hot dogs
For family's maintenance
Tons of tickets on the floor
Homeless people
Shooting smack inside the bathroom stall
Will we ever sleep tonight?
Today I wish I would
Have taken a cab
Although the only thing
I can afford
Is a pay per ride metro card
Late night subway ride
Streets are storming outside
The station's filled with vagabonds
Downtown's built on wretched lives
The subway just passed by
Would you buy a ticket for me?
And we'll hop on the next one
Teenage psycho kid
Only father's offspring
Metropolis got him pinned down
Years of dreaming are gone
Reality's knocking
On his four roommate apartment door saying
"Now's your time so get up boy, don't whine"
Your slanted eyes
Got me mesmerized
You'll swipe me through
Traditional NY view
From all places
I've looked for you
Found you here
Underground land of bloom
The subway lines
The city's veins
Two blood types
Will collide
Will collide
Late night subway ride
Streets are storming outside
The station's filled with vagabonds
Downtown's built on wretched lives
The subway just passed by
Would you buy a ticket for me?
And we'll hop on the next one
