Train Under Water

You were born inside of a raindrop And I watched you falling to your death And the sun, well, she could not save you She'd fallen down too, now the streets are wet Body of water, toxic and timeless Atlantic ocean, New York skyline I always get lost when I leave the village So I couldn't come meet you in Brooklyn last night But I sing glory from my lowest And I will say peace to the people I meet While the world waits for an explosion That instant of light that wipes the slate clean So don't be fooled, no, don't get lied to Love was always cruel And don't act strange, don't be a stranger It happened to me, now it's happening to you But if you take that train underwater, then we could talk it through Well, if I could tame all of my desires Wait out the weather, it howls in my brain Because it seems that it's always changing The wind's indecision, the sorrowful rain Yeah, I was a postcard, I was a record I was a camera until I went blind And now I am riding all over this island Looking for something to open my eyes But I still sing glory from a high rise And I will say thanks if you're pouring my drinks While the world waits for an explosion That moment in time when we'll be set free So don't stay mad, just let some time pass And in the morning you'll wake feeling new And if I don't come back, I mean, if I get sidetracked It's only 'cause I wanted to I'm keeping up with the moon on an all-night avenue (Got that? Make me cry)
