Lyrics

[00:17.05] Outside another yellow moon
[00:20.67] Punched a hole in the nighttime, yeah
[00:23.91] I climb through the window and down to the street
[00:28.28] I'm shining like a new dime
[00:31.40] The downtown trains are full
[00:34.97] With all those Brooklyn girls
[00:38.17] They try so hard to break out of their little worlds
[00:42.85] You wave your hand and they scatter like crows
[00:46.66] They have nothing that'll ever capture your heart
[00:50.09] They're just thorns without the rose
[00:53.90] Ooh, be careful of 'em in the dark
[00:57.14] Oh if I was the one
[01:00.32] You chose to be your only one
[01:03.83] Can't you hear me now
[01:05.71] Can't you hear me now
[01:07.91] Will I see you tonight
[01:11.10] Ooh, on a downtown train
[01:15.30] Every night it's just the same
[01:20.68] You leave me lonely, now
[01:30.67] I know your window; I know it's late
[01:34.47] I know your stairs and your doorway
[01:37.65] I walk down your street and past your gate
[01:41.40] I stand by the light at the four way
[01:44.97] You watch them as they fall
[01:48.61] And they all catch heart attacks
[01:51.98] They stay at the carnival, Baby
[01:53.85] But they'll never win you back
[01:55.91] Will I see you tonight
[01:59.03] Baby, on a downtown train
[02:00.96] Every night, every night, is just the same
[02:07.70] You leave me lonely, now
[02:10.51] Will I see you tonight
[02:13.44] Ooh, on a downtown train
[02:18.21] All my dreams just fall like rain
[02:23.11] All upon a downtown train
[02:27.56] Outside another yellow moon
[02:48.23] Punched a hole in the nighttime, yeah
[02:51.66] I climb through the window and down to the street
[02:55.80] I'm shining like a new dime
[02:58.81] The downtown trains are full
[03:02.75] With all those Brooklyn girls
[03:05.89] Can't you hear me now
[03:07.53] Can't you hear me now
[03:09.46] Will I see you tonight
[03:12.83] Baby, on a downtown train
[03:16.82] Every night, every night, it's just the same
[03:21.57] You leave me lonely, now
[03:24.19] Will I see you tonight
[03:25.50] On a downtown train
[03:31.99] All my dreams just fall like rain
[03:36.81] All upon a downtown train
[03:41.08] Ooo-oo-ooooh-ooh Ooo-wo-ooooh
