lyrics

Subway

That evil harbour horn
Leaks out across the dawn
Across the subway of the world
This hasn’t been a night
For sleeping on the stairs
It’s been so cold
So cold, as I
Rat through this paperbag
Break off a half a fag
Light up the subway of the world
What’s left when all your links with love
Are rusted clean away
Dry bones, rolled, rattled around
Blown through this underground

I walk this corridor
I have the time to choose
My ears are aimed toward the blues
I watch the drunken, swaying boys
In sailor’s uniforms
Kiss, collide, play seeya later
Drift and ride up escalators
And in the early day
I fold these feet away
This back is cold against the tiles
The news of yesterday
Is wrapped around my shoes
And I remember
Yes I remember

Those easy friends of mine
Back down along the line
They’ll never miss what they don’t know
They’ll have a table
In some café Pierot, where they
Play cards with the slender
Circus girls, I remember
Another time, another world
Another station in the rain
Let it go
Let it go
One more hat round the passengers
Another one act pas-de-deux

We learn to raise a little smoke
And disappear
Leaving subtle lies to hang below the ear
Like a pearl
These masquerades could never burn
Your powdered hands
Now it ain’t so easy
Here in the subway of the world.
