Lyrics

[Intro]
Ay, ay, ay, ay
Canta y no llores
[Verse 1]
The ghosts of the city live underground
Everyone you ever lost is still around, yes
See them in the flickers of the train's fluorescent light
Here in the night, here in the night
[Verse 2]
A single mother sings with her guitar
To the warriors in an empty subway car
Baby strapped across her back, he holds his mother tight
All through the night, here in the night
As she sings:
[Chorus]
Ay, ay, ay, ay
And they're taking the same train
Ay, ay, ay, ay
We're taking the same train
Ay, ay, ay, ay
We're all on the same train home
[Verse 3]
Rich young couples get on at prospect park
Coming home from a disco after dark
They're giggling and they're laughing 'cause they've always been alright
Safe in the night, safe in the night
[Verse 4]
Laughter dies as they look across the way
They're looking at the warriors, they don't know what to say
Mercy feels them staring at the dirt caked in her skin
They're thinkin', "My god? where has she been?"
The lady sings
[Chorus]
Ay, ay, ay, ay
And they're taking the same train home
Ay, ay, ay, ay
We're taking the same train home
Ay, ay, ay, ay
We're all on the same train home
[Verse 5]
Mercy feels their judgement
Mercy feels their fear
Mercy makes herself smaller
Tucks her hair behind her ear
Swan leans over, takes her hand and looks her in the eye
Hold your head high, hold your head high
[Verse 6]
O, let them stare in judgement
Let them witness this
Swan leans into mercy, pulls her deep into a kiss
As the train emerges overground in overdrive
They are alive, they are alive
[Bridge]
The city and the singer and the couples fade away
As we pass beyond kings highway just before the break of day, we say
[Chorus]
Make way for us
We're all on the same train home
Make space for us
We're taking the same train home
Ain't we all on the same train home?
[Verse 7]
The folks that we find, or leave behind
They wait for us
[Chorus]
Ay, ay, ay, ay
As we all take the same train home
They stay with us
Ay, ay, ay, ay
As we're taking the same train home
Ain't we all on the same train home?
Ay, ay, ay, ay
As the night gives way to the day
[Outro]
Nothing's comin' to save us
Be brave for us
All we got is us
All we got is us
The people who ride with us
Side by side with us
We're all on the same train home
We're takin' the same train, the same train home
