lyrics

Subway Train

A ladies-only subway train rides through Yokahoma
In the morning hour, pink doors, little flowers
A seat for mama, it rides through Yokahama
In the morning

The subway train, there goes the subway train

A fellow on the platform watches as it flies
Filled with lovely women, he feels like he’s in prison
The fence is ten feet high, tips his hat as life goes passin’ by

Pockets lined with wishes, heart inside his sleeve
A bridge of the senses he wants to cross without pretenses
For a chance to meet, the beauty of his dreams
In the morning

The subway train, there goes the subway train

Across the world, at State and Lake, she hurries up the steps
Coffee in her hand, in the car, she wants to stand
Her fingernails are chipped, she ain't the kind to easily forget

Watching through a window, brownstones against the gray
A boy she knew lived in one, against the track the loudest sounds
Would sweep them both away like the subway train
In the morning
