Outside another

yellow moon

Punched a hole

the nighttime yes

I climb through

the window and

down to the street

Shining like a new dime

The downtown

trains are full

With all those

Brooklyn girls

They try so hard to break

out of their

little worlds

You wave your hand and

they scatter like crows

They have nothing

that will ever

capture your heart

They're just thorns

without the rose

Be careful of them

in the dark

Oh if I was the one

You chose to be

your only one

Can't you hear me now

Can't you hear me now

Will I see you tonight

On a downtown train

Every night

it's just the same

You leave me lonely now

I know your window

and I know it's late

I know your stairs

and your doorway

I walk down your street

and past your gate

I stand by the light

at the four way

You watch them

as they fall

They all have

heart attacks

They stay at the carnival

But they'll

never win you back

Will I see you tonight

On a downtown train

Every night every night

it's just the same

You leave me lonely now

Will I see you tonight

On a downtown train

All of my dreams

just fall like rain

All upon a downtown train

Outside another

yellow moon

Punched a hole

the nighttime yes

I climb through

the window and

down to the street

Shining like a new dime

The downtown

trains are full

With all those

Brooklyn girls

Can't you hear me now

Can't you hear me now

Will I see you tonight

On a downtown train

Every night every night

it's just the same

You leave me lonely now

Will I see you tonight

On a downtown train

All of my dreams

just fall like rain
