Outside another yellow moon
Punched a hole in the nighttime, yes
I climbed through the window and down to the street
Shining like a new dime
The downtown trains are full
With all them Brooklyn girls
They try so hard to break
Out of their little worlds
You wave your hand and they scatter like crows
They have nothing that will ever capture your heart
They're just thorns without the rose
Be careful of them in the dark
Oh, if I was the one you chose to be your only one
Can you hear me now?
Will I see you tonight
On a downtown train?
Every night, every night's just the same
You leave me lonely
I know your window and I know it's late
I know your stairs and your doorway
I walk down your street and past your gate
I stand by the light at the four-way
You watch them as they fall
Wishing they would all have heart attacks
They're at the carnival
But they could never win you back
Will I see you tonight
On a downtown train?
Every night, every night's just the same
You leave me lonely
Will I see you tonight
On a downtown train?
All my dreams, all my dreams fall like rain
On a downtown train
On a downtown train
On a downtown train
