@SONG: Downtown train

Outside another yellow moon
punched in a hole in the nighttime yes
I climb through the window and down to the street
I'm shining like a new dime
downtown trains are full
with all those Brooklyn girls
They try so hard to break their little worlds

You move 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 choose to be your only one
Oh baby can't you hear me now

Will I see you tonight
on a downtown train
every night is 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 is just the same
you leave me lonely now

Will I see you tonight
on a downtown train
all my dreams just fall like rain
Oh bay all upon a downtown train
