It’s a deceptively simple song, barely two minutes long, and if you aren’t listening, you might miss the bass and Mellotron entirely, only hearing the two acoustic guitars and Paul Westerberg’s vocals.
Skyway Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You take the skyway
High above the busy little one-way
In my stupid hat and gloves
At night, I lie awake wonderin' if I'll sleep
Wonderin' if we'll meet out in the street
[Verse 2]
But you take the skyway
It don't move at all like a subway
It's got bums when it's cold
Like any other place, it's warm up inside
Sittin' down and waitin' for a ride
Beneath the skyway
[Interlude]
Mmm-mmm, mmm
Mmm-mmm, mmm-mmm-mmm
Mmm-mmm-mmm, mmm-mmm
[Verse 3]
Oh, then one day
I saw you walkin' down that little one-way
Where the place I'd catch my ride most everyday
There wasn't a damn thing I could do or say
Up in the skyway
[Outro]
