Riding on the Subway |
The Harlem mammas they are laughing |
They call me punk rock think they’re cute |
The pizza boys they keep on starin' |
I guess they finally made it off their stoop |
I don’t even know and I don’t even care |
Oh yeah |
Since I’ve been hanging round |
Machines go up and down |
Spray paint gospel on the beat |
Another billboard reads |
Come to Miami Beach |
A man sells pretzels in the heat |
Riding on the subway |
Saints and sinners sweepstakes winners |
Nine to five their smoking gun |
Jazzman Jimmy’s busked a million |
Sometimes plays Duke Ellington for fun |
I don’t even know and I don’t even care |
Oh yeah |
I’ve been hanging round |
In the underground |
One day I saw you in your seat |
Past the transit cops |
A three-card monte box |
If I only had the guts to speak |
Riding on the subway |
Mother told me yesterday |
The things that God would never say before |
We’ll hang around the radio and listen to the status quo go on |
I’m all right until Sunday night when |
I keep going down |
Took the local round |
A soul confession in my sleep |
Ain’t no wishing well |
Underneath the el |
I still hope someday we might meet |
Riding on the subway |
