Subway Train

(album: New York Dolls - 1973)

I can't ever understand
Why my life been cursed, poisoned, condemned
When I've been trying every night to hold you near me
But I'm a-telling you it ain't easy

Ever since I've been riding
Right on the subway train
You can hear the whistle blowing
You might think I'm insane

And now your friends, they're filling up my car
But you're so busy reading Suzy says, you can't look now
You didn't see your lovers, they're all dressed in rags
You know you had us pushing up posies just tryna get you fed

We was all riding
Right on a subway train
And you can hear the captain shouting
He thinks I've gone insane

'Cause I keep on riding
Keep on riding
'Cause I keep on riding, riding, riding
Keep on riding, yeah

You stop and you stare as I'm leaving my favorite place
We have no regards, you can't even find a trace
You gotta get on back to Daddy, that's all it's gonna be
He's got the poison, black art of the pimps, but don't you stick, stick

I seen those travel
Right on the subway train
And you can hear the captain shouting
He thinks we've all gone insane

'Cause we keep on riding, riding, riding
Keep on riding
'Cause we keep on riding, riding, riding
Keep on riding

See the train
Getting that open track
Well, I'ma hoping
It's gonna bring my
Baby back
That's why I've got to say

Dinah, won't you blow
Dinah, won't you blow your horn?
Dinah, won't you blow
Dinah, won't you blow your horn?

Sing, someone's in the kitchen with Dinah
I know, whoa-whoa
I said, someone's in the kitchen with Dinah
I just know

We are riding, riding, riding
