The spray painted words of the prophets have failed
Down in this tunnel there's no day or night
Up above is it darkness or light
It's all just a dream I wake up and I'm back
Where the wheels of reality screech down the track
The ride is the moment they're all waiting for
Can't afford to beleive that there's more
I can't kid myself into thinking there's more
And he lives in the suburbs and he carries a phone
I watch him arrive and I'll watch him go home
He'll pitch me a quarter as he stops to chage lines
He'd stay but he never has time
Would he stay if he ever had time
So hold my eye
While the rest of the city flies by
The tips and the tokens you left me today
Are the price of my ride on the subway
And I've seen drowning hobos and rich men who pass
Reflected in fragments of Boston bound glass
And I'll be Jimmie Rodgers, The Cure or The Who
If it makes any difference to you
Does it make any difference to you
So hold my eye
While the rest of the city flies by
The tips and the tokens you left me today
Are the price of my ride on the subway
They're the price of my ride on the subway
They're the price of my ride on the subway
There's no sun and no starlight to shine on the rails The spray painted words of the prophets have failed Down in this tunnel there's no day or night Up above is it darkness or light It's all just a dream I wake up and I'm back Where the wheels of reality screech down the track The ride is the moment they're all waiting for Can't afford to beleive that there's more I can't kid myself into thinking there's more And he lives in the suburbs and he carries a phone I watch him arrive and I'll watch him go home He'll pitch me a quarter as he stops to chage lines He'd stay but he never has time Would he stay if he ever had time So hold my eye While the rest of the city flies by The tips and the tokens you left me today Are the price of my ride on the subway And I've seen drowning hobos and rich men who pass Reflected in fragments of Boston bound glass And I'll be Jimmie Rodgers, The Cure or The Who If it makes any difference to you Does it make any difference to you So hold my eye While the rest of the city flies by The tips and the tokens you left me today Are the price of my ride on the subway They're the price of my ride on the subway They're the price of my ride on the subway Explain Request ×
