Outside another yellow moon
 Has punched a hole in the nighttime, yes
 I climb through the window and down to the street
 I’m shining like a new dime
 The downtown trains are full with all of those brooklyn girls
 They try so hard to break out of their little worlds

 Well 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
 Be careful of them in the dark
 Oh, if I was the one you chose to be your only one
 Oh baby 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

 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 four-way
 You watch them 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
 Where every night, every night it’s just the same, oh baby
 Will I see you tonight on a downtown train
 All of my dreams they fall like rain, oh baby on a downtown train

 Will I see you tonight on a downtown train
 Where every night, every night it’s just the same, oh baby
 Will I see you tonight on a downtown train
 All of my dreams just fall like rain, all on a downtown train
 All on a downtown train, all on a downtown train
 All on a downtown train, a downtown train
