Downtown Train Songtext
von Braindogs

Outside another yellow moon
Has punched a hole in the nighttime mist
And I climb out the window, down to the street
And I′m shining like a new dime
Downtown trains are full
Full of all them Brooklyn girls
Who try so hard to get out of their little world
Raise your hand and they scatter like crows
Well, they have nothing that will ever capture your heart
They're just thorns without the rose
Be careful of them in the dark
And I wish I was the one
You claim to be your only one
Can′t you hear me now?
Can't you hear me now?

Can I see you tonight on a downtown train?
Every night, it's just the same
Don′t ever leave me lonely


Well, I know your window and I know that it′s late
And I know your stairs and your doorway too
And I'll walk down the streets and past your gate
See you by the light of the four-way
You watch them as they fall
Oh, baby, they all had heart attacks
Well, they stand in the carnival and they′ll never bring you back

Can I see you tonight on a downtown train?
Every night, it's just the same
Don′t ever leave me lonely
Can I see you tonight on a downtown train?
Well, all of my dreams, they fall like rain
Come on, meet me on a downtown

Woah, woah, woah, woah, woah, woah, woah, woah
Can I see you tonight on a downtown train?
All of my dreams, they fall like rain
Yeah, don't ever leave me lonely
Can I see you tonight out on a downtown train?
Every night, it′s just the same
Come on and meet me on a downtown train

Downtown train
Downtown train
Downtown train


Oh, come on, baby
Meet me at the station
Put your red dress on and them
Pretty little high-heeled shoes, you know I love 'em so much
Wear a flower in your hair
Yes, I'm gonna meet you there
At the station
Baby, don′t keep me waiting

Meet me on a downtown train
A downtown train
Ah, meet me on a downtown train
On a downtown train
Meet me on a downtown train
Meet me on a downtown train
Yeah, meet me on a downtown train
Yeah, meet me on a downtown train

Put your hands together for me, people
Meet me on a downtown train
The people in the back, I can see you too
Downtown train
I can see everybody, don′t think I'm blind
And now I took off my glasses, I can see you perfectly well
A downtown train
Yeah, meet me on a downtown train
Meet me on a downtown train
Meet me on a downtown, on a down
Downtown, downtown, downtown
Woah, oh, woah, oh, oh, oh
On a downtown train
Yeah
Woah, oh, oh, oh, oh
Woah, oh, oh, oh, oh
Downtown, yeah
On a downtown train
