Downtown Train

[Verse 1: Ben Watt and Tracey Thorn]
Outside another yellow moon
Punched a hole in the nighttime, yes
Climb through your window and down the street
I'm shining like a new dime
The downtown trains are full with all of those Brooklyn girls
They try so hard to break out of their little worlds

[Verse 2: Ben Watt and Tracey Thorn]
You wave your hands and they scatter like crows
They have nothing that can capture your heart
They're just thorns without the rose
Be careful of them in the dark
If I was the one you chose to be your only one
Baby can't you hear me, can't you hear me now?

[Chorus: Tracey Thorn]
Will I see you tonight
On a downtown train?
Every night it's just the same
You leave me lonely now

[Verse 3: Ben Watt and Tracey Thorn]
I know your window and I know it's late
I know your stairs and your doorway
Walk down your street and past your gate
Stand by the light at the four-way
And watch them as they fall, they all have heart attacks
They stay at the carnival, but they'll never win you back

[Chorus: Tracey Thorn]
Will I see you tonight
On a downtown train?
Every night is just the same
You leave me lonely
Will I see you tonight
On a downtown train?
All of my tears just fall like rain
All upon a downtown train
