Running after subway trains
Running after subway trains
Running after subway trains
Last Sunday morning, the sunshine felt like rain (felt like rain)
The weeks before, they all seemed the same
With the help of God and true friends, I've come to realize (come to realize)
I still have two strong legs and even wings to fly
So I ain't wastin time no more
Cause time goes by like hurricanes, and faster things
Running after subway trains
Well, Lord, Lord, Miss Sally, why all your cryin'?
Been around here three long days lookin' like you're dying
Go step yourself outside and look up at the stars above
Go on downtown baby find somebody to love
Meanwhile I ain't wastin' time no more
Cause time goes by like
Pouring rain and much faster things (and much faster things and much faster things)
Running after subway trains
You don't need no gypsy to tell you why
Ya can't let one precious day to slip by
Well look inside yourself and if you don't see what you want
Maybe sometimes then ya don't
But leave your mind alone and just get high
Just get high
Just get high
Running after subway trains
Running after subway trains
Running after subway
Running after subway
Well by and by way after
Many years have gone
And all the war freaks die off, leaving us alone
We'll raise our children, in the peaceful way we can
It's up to you and me brother
To try and try again
So hear us now we ain't wastin' time no more
Cause time rolls by like hurricanes
Runnin' after subway trains
Don't forget the pourin' rain
Running after subway trains
Running after subway trains
Running after subway trains
Running after subway trains
