[Verse 1]

I can't ever understand

Why my life's been cursed, poisoned, condemned

I try every night just to hold you near me

But I'm telling ya, baby, it ain't easy

[Chorus]

Ever since I been riding

Right on the subway train

I hear the whistle blowing

You might think I'm insane

[Verse 2]

You stop and you stare

As I leave your place

With no regards

And not even a trace

You go back to Rosie

That's all she's ever gonna be

She got the poison black art of the pimps

Don't you stick it in me

[Chorus]

Ever since I been riding

Right on the subway train

I hear the whistle blowing

You might think I'm insane

[Verse 3]

You stop and you stare

As I leave your place

With no regards

And not even a trace

I wrote you an epic letter, but it never got sent

Reminding me of the days we got bent

Hey, remember?

[Chorus]

Ever since I been riding

Right on the subway train

I hear the whistle blowing

You might think I'm insane

[Bridge]

Well, someone's in the kitchen with Dinah

I know

Well, someone's in the kitchen with Dinah

I just know

[Outro]

And I tell ya now

Dinah, won't you blow?

Dinah, won't you blow?

Dinah, won't you blow your horn?

Dinah, won't you blow?

Dinah, won't you blow?
