Lyrics

Outside another yellow moon
Punched a hole in the nighttime, yes
Climbed through your window and down the street
I'm shinin' like a new dime
The downtown trains are full
With all those Brooklyn girls
They try so hard to break out of their little worlds
You wave your hands and they scatter like crows
They have nothing that can capture your heart
They're just thorns without the rose
Be careful of them in the dark
And if I was the one
You chose to be your only one
Baby, can't you hear me?
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
Walk down your street and past your gate
Stand by the light at the four-way
You watch them as they fall
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 is just the same
You leave me lonely
Will I see you tonight
On a downtown train?
All of my tears just fall like rain
All upon a downtown train
