The Uptown Train

If I stop and think about it

I'm either stone cold certain

Or more inclined to doubt it

But when you jump into the darkness

Well, I take off my hat

You've changed, they say

You can know when to play or to hold

And they think they can show all that glitters is gold

And they don't care to go where you go

'Cause they know you're insane

When you change to the uptown train

Well, I knew that you were trouble

You were a ten time loser

Or maybe even double

But you pulled some kind of rabbit

From your lil' hippie hat

You've changed, they say

Take it slow when you're breaking the mold

Got to pay what you owe or be out in the cold

And they don't care to know what you know

Or to go through the pain

To change to the uptown train
