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
