[Verse 1]
Outside another yellow moon
Has punched a hole in the night time mist
I climb through the window and down to the street
I'm shining like a new dime
Downtown trains are full
With all them Brooklyn girls
They try so hard to break out of their little worlds

[Verse 2]
You wave your hand and they scatter like crows
They have nothing that'll ever capture your heart
They're just thorns without the rose
Be careful of them in the dark
But 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?

[Chorus]
Will I see you tonight on a downtown train?
Every night, every night it's just the same

[Verse 3]
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 of 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
[Chorus]
Will I see you tonight on a downtown train?
Every night, every night it's just the same
Will I see you tonight on a downtown train?
All my dreams, all my dreams tumble like rain
On a downtown train

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
Will I see you tonight on a downtown train?
Every night, every night it's just the same
Will I see you tonight on a downtown train?
All my dreams, all my dreams fall like rain
On a downtown train

[Outro]
On a downtown train
On a downtown train
Will I see you tonight on a downtown train?
Ooh
