The night is so cold
The wall is so concrete
Your eyes are so dark
When I see U in the street
So far from the Clear Light
So close to the Dead End
Surrounded by the Unknown
The rest of your time to spend
Livin' in a subway train
Livin' in a subway train
Livin' in a subway train
Livin' in a subway...
Livin' in a subway train
I know I won't get no far
On this cut-off line
And don't ask me for no money
'cos ich hab' kein
I know that livin' here
Gives me no hope
Hope is not what I need
I'll sell it for some dope
Livin' in a subway train
Livin' in a subway train
Livin' in a subway train
Livin' in a subway...
Livin' in a subway train
Today I saw a boy
He came down to hide
From what he hated most:
The World Outside
He knows no way back
He's come to stay
Wish he met another Christ
Before it's too late
Livin' in a subway train
Livin' in a subway train
Livin' in a subway train
Livin' in a subway...
Livin' in a subway train
