[Verse 1]
Her face had a run-in with a fist, or a steering wheel
You could hear her coming from the click of her plastic heels
Insides have died and you're just standing here
Behind your eyes there's no one anywhere

[Chorus]
Sleepin' on a subway
City up above me
Dreamin' up the words to this song
Bettin' on a someday
Wakin' up at someplace
Believe me, baby, I know

[Verse 2]
It holds you tight then it lets you go
Didn't looked back, just left it alone
Grabbed my coat, my hat
Let the train take me home

[Chorus 2]
Sleepin' on a subway
City up above me
Runnin' since the day I was born
Bettin' on a someday
Wakin' up at someplace
Believe me, baby, I know
[Verse 3]
Howlin' at me, tellin' me she's sick and she needs some help
Old woman suckin' on a dick for a dollar bill
Insides have died and you're just standing here
Behind your eyes there's no one anywhere

[Chorus]
Sleepin' on a subway
City up above me
Dreamin' up the words to this song
Bettin' on a someday
Wakin' up at someplace
Believe me, baby, I know

[Verse 4]
It's that little piece of nothin' that won't let you go
Didn't looked back, just left it alone
Grab my coat and my hat
Let the train take me home

[Chorus 2]
Sleepin' on a subway
City up above me
Runnin' since the day I was born
Bettin' on a someday
Wakin' up at someplace
Believe me, baby, I know
[Outro]
The living under bridges thing, where I was only visiting
Where ladies drink the Listerine to keep their livers clean and wintergreen
The living under bridges thing, where I was only visiting
Where ladies drink the Listerine to keep their livers clean and wintergreen
