Her face had a run-in with a fist
A stair and well
The do-gooder comin' from the clique
Of a classic hell
There's signs of life and you're just standing here
Behind your eyes there's no one anywhere
Sleepin' on a subway
City up above me
Dreamin' up the words to this song
Dreamin' that wasn't too sound
Wakin' up in someplace
Believe me, baby, I know
They hold you tight then they let you go
Never looked back, just left it alone
Grabbed my coat, my hat
Let the train take me home
Sleepin' on a subway
City up above me
Runnin' since the day I was born
Dreamin' that wasn't too sound
Wakin' up in someplace
Believe me, baby, I know
Howlin' at me tellin' me she's sick
And she needs some help
Old woman suckin' on a dick
For a dollar bill
There's signs of life and you're just standing here
Behind your eyes there's no one anywhere
Sleepin' on a subway
City up above me
Dreamin' up the words to this song
Dreamin' that wasn't too sound
Wakin' up in someplace
Believe me, baby, I know
It's that little piece of nothin' that won't let you go
Didn't looked back, just left it alone
Grabbed my coat, my hat
Let the train take me home
Sleepin' on a subway
City up above me
Runnin' since the day I was born
Dreamin' that wasn't too sound
Wakin' up in someplace
Believe me, baby, I know
Livin' under bridges stayin'
Where I was only visiting
Where babies drink the Listerine
To keep their livers clean
And wintergreen
Livin' under bridges stayin'
Where I was only visiting
Where babies drink the Listerine
To keep their livers clean
And wintergreen
