Outside another yellow moon Punched a hole in the nighttime, yeah I climb through the window and down to the street I'm 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'll ever capture your heart They're just thorns without the rose Ooh, be careful of 'em 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 Ooh, on a downtown train Every night it's just the same You leave me lonely, now I know your window; 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 And they all catch heart attacks
They stay at the carnival, Baby But they'll never win you back Will I see you tonight Baby, on a downtown train Every night, every night, is just the same You leave me lonely, now Will I see you tonight Ooh, on a downtown train All my dreams just fall like rain All upon a downtown train Outside another yellow moon Punched a hole in the nighttime, yeah I climb through the window and down to the street I'm 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 Baby, 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 my dreams just fall like rain All upon a downtown train Ooo-oo-ooooh-ooh Ooo-wo-ooooh
