Outside, another yellow moon
Punched a hole in the nighttime, yes
I climb through the window and down to the street
I'm shinin' like a new dime
Downtown trains are full, with all those Brooklyn girls
They try so hard to break outta' their little worlds

Wave your hand and they scatter like crows
They have nothin' that will capture your heart
They're just thorns without the rose
Be careful of them in the dark
Oh if I was the one...you chose to be your only one
Can't you hear me now? Can't you hear me now?

Will I see you tonight
On a downtown train?
Every night...it's just the same
You leave me lonely, now

Know your window, and I know it's late
Know your stairs and your doorway
Walk down your street and past your gate
I stand by the light at the four-way

You watch 'em as they fall
Oh baby, they all have heart attacks
They stay at the carnival, but they'll never win you back!

Will I see you tonight
On a downtown train?
Every night...is just the same

Will I see you tonight
On a downtown train?
All my dreams...just fall like rain
Oh, baby, on a downtown train
