OK, lets go.
See the people lined up all in a row
They’ve got more than 15 places to go
Maybe to the movies or maybe to a show
You never talk to them, so you’ll never know
Stare at the train track you think back
Back to the time when you rode black.
These days are gone, won’t happen again,
You want to go uptown and meet your friend.
27 years been riding this rail, never once considered what this would entail
Never been to prison, but this is like jail; take a deep breath… exhale.
Waitin’ for the train, every night and day
Think about the one, the one that got away
Read the paper, erase the scene, think about what you might have been.
Close your eyes
Lean back
Rest your head
On the train track.
OK, lets go.
See the people lined up all in a row
They’ve got more than 15 places to go
Maybe to the movies or maybe to a show
You never talk to them, so you’ll never know
What will it take to get me out of here
What can I say to make myself clear?
Be a little better than it first appeared
Before the walls come crumbling down.
Deep beneath the street, just as fast as lightning
The people that you meet, they appear so frightened
In a seat across from me, don’t make eye contact
Its better to believe in rats.
Think in your mind what it means to roll
Sometimes you go fast, sometimes you roll slow
But you can’t see out the window,
You’re moving too fast with nowhere to go.
So take a day off, try to grasp the situation
Take a deep breath, take a short vacation
Stand on the platform, too close to aggravation
I feel like I spent my whole life in this station.
Close your eyes, lean back; rest your head on the train track.
OK, lets go.
See the people lined up all in a row
They’ve got more than 15 places to go
Maybe to the movies or maybe to a show
You never talk to them, so you’ll never know
What will it take to get me out of here
What can I say to make myself clear?
Be a little better than it first appeared
Before the walls come crumbling down.
