Dave Malloy
Subway
[RACH]
And as I rode the subway
And moved through the crowds in a daze
I smiled at the people
Smiled with my secret
I've got a little secret
I'm going to see him
(Ooo, ooo, ooooo, ooooo, ooooo)

Someone famous
Someone important
A legend
A genius
A genius invited me to speak with him
(Ooo, ooo)

This man whose words I've read (Ooooo, ooooo)
Whose songs are stuck inside my head (Ooooo)
This man who made me cry late at night
Alone in my room (Oooooo)
He told me secrets
Secrets only I could understand (Oooo, oooo)
The voice of Russia (Oooo, oooo)
The voice of life
If life could speak then life would speak in his voice (Oooo, oo, oo)
In his voice (Oooo, oo, oo)
And he's asked me to his home
And I don't know what to talk about
What questions he's sick of
What topics he's bored of
What does a genius talk about?
Is he so brilliant
That every minute of his day is sublime (Minute of his day is sublime)
That he eats a piece of cheese on toast
Sublimely
And makes coffee (Coffee)
Answers emails (Answers emails)
Washes dishes (Washes dishes)
Does his laundry (Does his laundry)
Sublimely (Sublimely)

(spoken)
Does he even do his own laundry?
Does he buy his own shirts?
Does he take care of himself?
