Ani Difranco - Subway lyrics

The subway car smells like an animal's cage And don't you feel like the captain riding in a rage Oh the city's sweet as cider...sours with age The toss between fear and freedom Looking for a familiar sign And the man sitting next to you says "hey baby, can you spare a dime?" Oh the city's sweet as cider... sours in time You turn to see his pants from 1965 with the holes in the pockets And the fly open wide And just when he starts to make you nervous, suddenly he starts to cry Oh the city's sweet as cider...pa**es some people by And on the other side of the darkness Where the tunnel closes inside You can only come out even in this town But girl, you have come out alright Oh the city's sweet as cider...isn't sweet at night No the city's sweet as cider...isn't sweet at night
