Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I'm not gon' cry this time, so it sounds better
There is life in New York
Underground, in the coldest hearts
Lonely people are subway art
[Verse 2]
Lonely people, cast away
For the crimes they committed
And the loved ones they pain
Hope for redemption on a crowded train
[Verse 3]
Can you spare some change? 'Cause my baby needs some diapers
I just got out of jail and nobody wants to hire
My mother just died and I have nowhere to go now
Got hurt on the job, got laid off, and I'm broke now
I could be robbin' you, but I'm tryna sell this candy
I need to feed my family, somebody help me
[Verse 4]
Yes, there is life in New York
Underground, in the coldest hearts
Lonely people are subway art
[Verse 5]
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
Lonely people, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la
In the coldest hearts
[Verse 6]
Lonely people, whose broken dreams
Slowly became distant memories
Most of their prayers fall on dead ears in this crowded train
[Verse 7]
Hooked on drugs and I can't get sober
I'm only 18 and my whole life is over
I've done been to jail five times, give me a dollar
I'm just hungry, I'll take food if you got some
Anybody wanna buy my mixed CD?
I need to feed my family, somebody help me
[Verse 8]
There is life in New York
Underground in the coldest hearts
Lonely people are subway art
[Verse 9]
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
Lonely people, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la
In the coldest hearts
