Train Under Water
You were born inside of a raindrop,And I watched you fallingTo your death
And the sun,Well, she could not save youShe's falling down tooNow the streets are wet
Body of water, toxic and timeless,Atlantic ocean, New York skylineI always get lost when I leave the village,So I couldn't come meet you in Brooklyn last night
But I sing glory from my lowest,And I will say peace to the people I meetWhile the world waits for an explosion,That instant of light that wipes the slate clean
So don't be fooled.No, don't get lied toLove was always cruel
And don't act strange, don't be a strangerIt happened to me; now, it's happening to youBut if you take that train under water,Then we could talk it through
Well, if I could tame all of my desiresWait out the weather that howls in my brainBecause it seems that it's always changingThe wind's indecision, the sorrowful rain
Yeah, I was a postcardI was a recordI was a camera, until I went blindAnd now I'm riding all over this islandLooking for something to open my eyes
But I still sing gloryFrom a high-riseAnd I will say thanks if you're pouring my drinksWhile the world waits for an explosion:That moment in time when we'll be set free
Well, don't stay madJust let some time passAnd in the morning you'll wake feeling new
And if I don't come back,I mean, if I get sidetracked,It's only 'cause I wanted toI'm keeping up with the moon on an all-night avenue
GoddamnYou make me cry
