| It’s 4am, I’ve got the Hasenpfeffer Ale
|
| I’ve got nothing to lose, so I’m pissing on the third rail
|
| Groggy-eyed and fried, and I’m headed for the station
|
| D-train ride to Coney Island vacation
|
| This one’s… Dedicated to the boofers in the back of the 1-train
|
| They’ll be kicking out windows, high on cocaine
|
| And then I jump the turnstyle, I lost my last token
|
| Riding between the cars, pissing, smoking
|
| Head for the last car, fluorescent light blackout
|
| Policeman told my homeboy, yo, put that crack out
|
| You know you light up when the lights go down
|
| And then you read the New York Post, Fulton Street, downtown
|
| Same faces every day, but you don’t know their names
|
| Party people going places on the D train
|
| Check it
|
| Trench coat, wingtip, going to work
|
| And you’ll be pullin a train like you’re Captain Kirk
|
| Pickpocket gangsters, payin' their debts
|
| I caught a bullet in the lung from Bernhard Goetz
|
| Overworked and underpaid, starin at the floor
|
| Prostitutes spandex caught in the slide doors
|
| Now stuck between the stations it seems like an eternity
|
| Sweating like sardines in a flophouse fraternity
|
| $ 50.00 fine for disturbing the peace
|
| The neck, tortoise, your Lees are creased
|
| Hot cup of coffee and the donuts are Dunkin
|
| Friday night and Jamaica Queens funkin
|
| Elevated platform, I’m never gonna conform
|
| Riding over the diner where I always get my toast warm
|
| Bust into the conductor’s booth and busted out rhymes
|
| Over the loudspeaker about the hard times
|
| Sat across from a man readin El Diario
|
| Riding the train down from the El Barrio
|
| Went from the station, to Orange Julius
|
| I bought a hot dog — from WHO? |
