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

The instant of life 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 under water then we could talk it through

Well if I could tame all of my desires

Wait out the weather that howls in my brain

Because it seems that it's always changing

The winds indecision, the sorrowful rain

Yeah, I was a postcard, I was a record

I was a camera until I went blind

And now I'm riding all over this island

Looking for something to open my eyes

But I still sing glory from my 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

God damn, make me cry

Yeah, yeah, yeah
