Downtown Train

Outside, another yellow moon
Has punched a hole in the nighttime
I climb through the window and down the street
I'm shining like a new dime
The downtown trains are full
With all of 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, and if I was the one
You chose to be your only one
Oh baby, 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 walked down your street and past your gate
Stand by the light at the four-way
You watch them as they fall
And 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 is just the same
You leave me lonely
Will I see you tonight
On a downtown train
All of my dreams, they just fall like rain
On a downtown train

Will I see you tonight (See you tonight)
On a downtown train (See you tonight)
Every night is just the same
You leave me lonely
Will I see you tonight (See you tonight)
On a downtown train (See you tonight)
All of my dreams, they just fall like rain
On a downtown train
On a downtown train
On a downtown train
