Band Of Susans - Take The Express lyrics

You get in a car and drive real fast I know that's the way in the suburbs But here in New York there's just one way to go You change from local to express It's ninety cents And you can ride all day All those New Jersey kids coming into clubs They don't know what they're missing While they're driving around We're two miles underground Stuck in a tunnel near 56th Oh, take the express Oh, take the express So you think it's real cool to go where you want to And polish your car to reflect the sun While you're stuck in Holland Tunnel, I'll be here Where the fun is smelling the piss of the Number 1 Tell me how many people have you met in your pickup Have you ever been mugged in your blue Chevette You can bet your last Rabbit that you'll see stranger habits On a train filled with loony-bin vets They take the express I hope against hope that the trains will keep running To get me to Chinatown before twelve o'clock While you're looking for parking I'll be looking at peking The pork in the windows The fish crates on the block You get in a car and drive real fast I know that's the way in the suburbs But here in New York there's just one way to go You change from local to express Oh, take the express
