Her face had a run in with a fist
a stair and well
The kooks were all comin from the clique
of a plastic hell
There's signs of life
and you're just standing here
Behind your eyes
there's no one anywhere

Sleepin on the subway
City of Bombay
Dreamin of the worst to be saw
Bettin on that someday
Waking up at someplace
Believe me baby I know

It holds you tight
then it lets you go
Then it looks back
Just left it alone
Grab my coat and my hat
let the train take me home

Sleepin on the subway
City of Bombay
Run it since the day I was born
Bettin on that someday
Waking up at someplace
Believe me baby I know

Howlin at me
Tellin me she's sick
and she needs some help
Old woman suckin
on her tit for a dollar bill
There's signs of life
and you're just standing here
Behind your eyes
there's no one anywhere

Sleepin on the subway
City of Bombay
Dreamin of the worst to be saw
Bettin on that someday
Waking up at someplace
Believe me baby I know

It's that little piece of nothin
that won't let you go
then it look back
just left it alone
Grab my coat and my hat
let the train take me home

Sleepin on the subway
City of Bombay
Dreamin of the worst to be saw
Bettin on that someday
Waking up at someplace
Believe me baby I know

From living under bridges
Stayin where I was only visiting
Where neighbors drink the Listerine
To keep their livers clean and
wintergreen
