Outside another yellow moon

Has punched a hole in the nighttime, yes

I climb through the window and down to the street

I'm shining like a new dime

The downtown trains are full with all of those Brooklyn girls

They try so hard to break out of their little worlds



Well 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

Oh baby 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, oh baby, 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

Where every night, every night it's just the same, oh baby

Will I see you tonight on a downtown train

All of my dreams they fall like rain, oh baby on a downtown train



Will I see you tonight on a downtown train

Where every night, every night it's just the same, oh baby

Will I see you tonight on a downtown train

All of my dreams just fall like rain, all on a downtown train

All on a downtown train, all on a downtown train

All on a downtown train, a downtown train
