Outside another yellow moon
Has punched a hole in the nighttime
I climb through the window and down to the street

I'm shining like a new dime

The downtown trains are full

With all those Brooklyn girls
They try so hard to break out of their little world
You wave your hand and they scatter like crows

They have nothing that will ever capture your heart
They're just thorns without the rose
Oh, be careful of them in the dark


And if I was the one
You chose to be your only one

Oh baby now, can't you hear me now

Will I see you tonight on a downtown train

Where every night is just the same;You leave me lonely now

(Now) I know your window and I know it's late

I know your stairs and your doorway
I walk down your street and past your gate
I stand by the light at the fourway


You watch them as they fall
Ooh, and 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

Where every night, every night is just the same; you leave me lonely

Will I see you tonight on a downtown train

Where every night, every night is just the same, all upon a downtown
Will I see you tonight on a downtown train
Where every night, every night is just the same, you leave me lonely


Will I see you tonight on a downtown train
Where all my dreams just fall like the rain, all upon a downtown train
