Downtown Train
Outside another yellow moon
Has punched a hole in the nighttime, yes
I climb through the window and down to the street
I'm shining like a new dime
The downtown trains are full
With all those Brooklyn girls
They try so hard
To break out of their little worlds
Well 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
Oh if I was the one
You chose to be your only one, oh yeah
Can't you hear me now
Can't you hear me now
Will I see you tonight?
On a downtown train
Every night, it's just the same
You leave me lonely
Now, I know your window, and I know it's late
I know your stairs and your doorway
I walk down your street and past your gate
I stand by the light at the four way
You watch them as they fall
Oh 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
Every night
Every night, it's just the same
Oh baby
Will I see you tonight?
On a downtown train
All of my dreams they fall like rain
Oh baby on a downtown train
Will I see you tonight?
On a downtown train
Every night
Every night, it's just the same
Oh baby
Will I see you tonight?
Oh, on a downtown train
All of my dreams just fall like rain
All on a downtown train
All on a downtown train
All on a downtown train
All on a downtown train
On a downtown train
Has punched a hole in the nighttime, yes
I climb through the window and down to the street
I'm shining like a new dime
The downtown trains are full
With all those Brooklyn girls
They try so hard
To break out of their little worlds
Well 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
Oh if I was the one
You chose to be your only one, oh yeah
Can't you hear me now
Can't you hear me now
Will I see you tonight?
On a downtown train
Every night, it's just the same
You leave me lonely
Now, I know your window, and I know it's late
I know your stairs and your doorway
I walk down your street and past your gate
I stand by the light at the four way
You watch them as they fall
Oh 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
Every night
Every night, it's just the same
Oh baby
Will I see you tonight?
On a downtown train
All of my dreams they fall like rain
Oh baby on a downtown train
Will I see you tonight?
On a downtown train
Every night
Every night, it's just the same
Oh baby
Will I see you tonight?
Oh, on a downtown train
All of my dreams just fall like rain
All on a downtown train
All on a downtown train
All on a downtown train
All on a downtown train
On a downtown train
