| Inside this city, on this empty train
|
| Hoping that the late night never lets me go
|
| I travel to the station, to the underground
|
| Where the dark is a friend to me
|
| We race along the subways
|
| He’s a cold hand on my shoulder
|
| He has a plan to get you nowhere
|
| And the wind is a friend to me
|
| We’re singing on the sidewalk
|
| With the gay boys in the back street
|
| There’s a new band and a new beat
|
| Well, I remember every now and then
|
| Some of the places that we used to go
|
| But, baby, tonight I’m drunk and I don’t care
|
| And the dark is a friend to me
|
| We race along the subways
|
| With the gay boys in a back street
|
| There’s a new gang and a new beat
|
| Now it all comes back to me
|
| We’re singing on the sidewalk
|
| There’s a cold hand on my shoulder
|
| Another plan will get you nowhere
|
| Now it all comes back to me
|
| You look so stranded, are you all alone?
|
| I wish there was something more that I could say
|
| You may be someone that I used to know
|
| Now that’s a memory, that was yesterday
|
| So take a hold, now
|
| Don’t ever let love go
|
| Don’t give it up, now
|
| Don’t ever let them know
|
| You shake me, babe, you shake me, babe
|
| You give it up so fine
|
| You shake so fine
|
| They turn their faces and they hide their eyes
|
| They don’t want to understand, they tell you love is a lie
|
| There’s a man on the corner, screaming at the street |
