Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Outside another yellow moon
Punched a hole in the night time, yes
Climbed through your window and down the street
I'm shinin' like a new dime
[Verse 2]
The downtown trains are full
With all those Brooklyn girls
They try so hard, to break out of their little worlds
[Verse 3]
You wave your hand 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
[Verse 4]
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?
[Verse 5]
Will I see you tonight?
On a downtown train
Every night is just the same
You leave me lonely now
[Verse 6]
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
[Verse 7]
You watch them as they fall
They all have heart attacks
They stay at the carnival, but they'll never win you back
[Verse 8]
Will I see you tonight?
On a downtown train
Every night is just the same
You leave me lonely
[Verse 9]
Will I see you tonight?
On a downtown train
All of my tears just fall like rain
All upon a downtown train
