Subway

[Verse 1] In the Geminid shower, you flew away through Orion's sky, the maverick queen of our galaxy Play these tunes I wrote for her, you and your golden ear and flare for words, tell us how you hung the stars 'Cause I am useless in this aging hour Of broken pipe dreams in a skyline of water towers I crave the night, can't shake it from my sight You knew me every time, you knew me every time On the way, I fell for every mountain rangе Every endless sky, еvery painted pony plain Every arrowhead this kid could fly But on the hoof, I found New York Getting groomed for some big tour Holding hands with girls down the streets and avenues Make it count in the music biz And that's what you did But me, I am still wandering 'Cause I crave the trying Can't shake it from my mind You saw me every time You saw me every time [Chorus] "Don't take the subway, baby, let's just walk," we'd say, 'til our longing turns to day Remember when Alphabet City was a wilderness to you and me, before Rudy had his way [Bridge] And they kept it all shut down From Jones Beach to the Mercury Lounge After you left, the shit really hit the fan So we took it to the streets Crying, "No justice, no peace" All for one, one for all, here comes the show Hey, turn on your radio Yeah, we took it to the streets Freedom is not free [Chorus] "Don't take the subway, baby, let's just walk," we'd say, 'til our longing turns to day Remember when Alphabet City was a wilderness to you and me, before Rudy had his way [Outro] This Georgia girl has got it bad for New York
