jack hardy - the subway lyrics
[verse 1]
to be sure i only wanted to go to the upper west side
where i could feel nature and watch the stars shine
i could see that one star of first magnitude
somewhere in the heavens, somewhere above us
but i was never really ready for that ride
that rollercoaster, rattling, gatling gun ride
on that long serpentine subterranean train
for which the big apple is so famous
[chorus]
ah, get off your high horse
and when the h_ll did you get knighted anyway?
he not gonna just take you
and bring you back to the same station someday
and no knight in shining armor
gonna ride you as well as this train
[verse 2]
so i start my slow descent past peripheral players
seeking creature comforts huddled ‘gainst the cold
past the turnstile jumpers handcuffed to the fanfare
of those who risk their lives for control
down the long corridors with the long empty bottles
that wild irish rose and that danny boy thunderbird
and past the urinal stalls and the dried vomit smells
that make me aware of all my senses
[chorus]
ah, get off your high horse
and when the h_ll did you get knighted anyway?
he not gonna just take you
and bring you back in one piece someday
and no knight in shining armor
gonna ride you as well as this train
[verse 3]
and next the thundering train with its high_pitched scream
and the brakes screech and the doors swallow me
the off_duty prostitute, the codger with his zipper undone
awakes from his business_section dream
the three_card monte players home from the park
and the banker who’s afraid of sitting alone in the dark
and the junkie who laughs at their small_stakes game
and the stupid young girl with her solid gold chain
[chorus]
ah, get off your high horse
and when the h_ll did you get knighted anyway?
he not gonna just love you
and bring you back in one piece someday
and no knight in shining armor
gonna ride you as well as this train
[guitar solo]
[verse 4]
well, my ride is almost over and it doesn’t take long
to see where i’m going and where i’m going wrong
better to see the blind leading the blind
than to wish upon a star that’s far too bright
as i climb out of this h_llhole one level to the next
i see a young singer who is in love with his text
and i leave him to fight his battles of recognition
he’s so in love with himself he got no competition
[chorus]
ah, get off your high horse
and when the h_ll did you get knighted anyway?
he not gonna just love you
and bring you back in one piece someday
and no knight in shining armor
gonna ride you as well as this train
i said no knight in shining armor
gonna ride you as well as this train
and no knight in shining armor
gonna ride you as well as this train
