"Subway Train" lyrics - JOHNNY THUNDERS

JOHNNY THUNDERS
"Subway Train"

I can't ever understand
Why my life's been cursed, poisoned, condemned
When I been trying, every night, to hold you near me
But I'm telling you, it ain't easy

Ever since I been riding
Ride on the subway train
You can hear the whistle blowing
You might think I'm going insane

And now your friends, they're filling up my car
But you're so busy reading Suzy says, you can't look now
You didn't see your lovers, they're all dressed in rags
You know you hid as pushing up posies, trying to get you fed

We was all riding
Ride on the subway train
And you can hear the captain shouting
He thinks I've gone insane

'Cause I keep riding
Keep on riding
'Cause I keep on riding, riding, riding
Keep on riding

You stop and you stare as I'm leaving my favorite place
We have no regards, you can't find a trace
You gotta get on back to daddy, that's all it's gonna be
He got the poison black arts of the pimps, but don't you stop and stare

I seen them traveling
Ride on the subway train
You can hear the captain shouting
He thinks we've all gone insane

'Cause we keep on riding, riding, riding, riding
'Cause we keep riding, riding, riding
Keep on riding

I think I see the train, I see you got open track
