Downtown Train

[Verse 1]
Outside, another yellow moon has punched a hole in the nighttime, yes
I climb through the window and down the street
I'm shining like a new dime
Downtown trains are full, full of all them Brooklyn girls
They try so hard to break out of their little worlds

[Verse 2]
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
Can't your hear me now? Can't you hear me now?

[Chorus]
And will I see you tonight on a downtown train?
Every night, every night is just the same on a downtown train

[Verse 3]
I know your window and I know it's late
I know your stairs and your doorway
I walk down your street and by your gate
I stand by the light at the four way
And watch them as they fall, they all having them heart attacks
They stay at the carnival, but they'll never win you back

[Chorus]
Will I see you tonight on a downtown train?
Every night, every night is just the same, you leave me lonely
Will I see you tonight on a downtown train?
All my dreams, all my dreams fall like rain on a downtown—
Will I see you tonight on a downtown train?
Every night, every night is just the same on a downtown train

[Outro]
On a downtown train
On a downtown train
