Outside another yellow moon

Punched a hole in the nightmare, yes

I climb through the window and down 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

Oh baby can't you hear me now

Chorus:

Will I see you tonight

On a downtown train

Every night its just the same

You leave me lonely, now

I know your window and I know its 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

Chorus:

Will I see you tonight

On a downtown train

With Every night its just the same

You leave me lonely

Will I see you tonight

On a downtown train

All of my dreams just fall like rain

All upon a downtown train
