[Verse 1]

Her face had a run-in with a fist, or a steering wheel

You could hear her coming from the click of her plastic heels

Insides have died and you're just standing here

Behind your eyes there's no one anywhere

[Chorus]

Sleepin' on a subway

City up above me

Dreamin' up the words to this song

Bettin' on a someday

Wakin' up at someplace

Believe me, baby, I know

[Verse 2]

It holds you tight then it lets you go

Didn't looked back, just left it alone

Grabbed my coat, my hat

Let the train take me home

[Chorus 2]

Sleepin' on a subway

City up above me

Runnin' since the day I was born

Bettin' on a someday

Wakin' up at someplace

Believe me, baby, I know

[Verse 3]

Howlin' at me, tellin' me she's sick and she needs some help

Old woman suckin' on a dick for a dollar bill

Insides have died and you're just standing here

Behind your eyes there's no one anywhere

[Chorus]

Sleepin' on a subway

City up above me

Dreamin' up the words to this song

Bettin' on a someday

Wakin' up at someplace

Believe me, baby, I know

[Verse 4]

It's that little piece of nothin' that won't let you go

Didn't looked back, just left it alone

Grab my coat and my hat

Let the train take me home

[Chorus 2]

Sleepin' on a subway

City up above me

Runnin' since the day I was born

Bettin' on a someday

Wakin' up at someplace

Believe me, baby, I know

[Outro]

The living under bridges thing, where I was only visiting

Where ladies drink the Listerine to keep their livers clean and wintergreen

The living under bridges thing, where I was only visiting

Where ladies drink the Listerine to keep their livers clean and wintergreen
