Her face had a run in with a fist Or a steerin' wheel You could hear her coming from the click Of her plastic heel In 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 a song Bettin' on a someday Wakin' up at someplace Please believe me baby I know
It holds you tight Then it lets you go Never look back Just left it alone Grab 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 Bettin' on a someday Wakin' up at someplace Please believe me baby I know
Callin' at me tell me she's sick And tellin' me she needs some help Old woman suckin' on a dick for a dollar bill In 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 a song Bettin' on a someday Wakin up' at someplace Please believe me baby I know
It's that little piece of nothin' That won't let you go Didn't look back Just left it alone Grab 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 Bettin' on a someday Wakin' up at someplace Please believe me baby I know
The living under bridges thing Where I was only visiting Where ladies drink the listerine To keep their livers clean in wintergreen
