loudon wainwright iii - no sure way lyrics

Loading...

so i started out on high street had to travel into town

like some orpheus descending through a turnstile
underground

from brooklyn heights into manhattan which was where i
had to be

now you have to take the a train there’s no more
service on the c

and when you are underwater sometimes the mind plays
tricks

and there beneath the east river it felt like the river
styx

the first stop was broadway n-ssau a few more
p-ssengers got in

we all sat no one was standing there somewhere we’d
never been

they say heaven’s high above us h-ll’s not far below

in that subway tunnel there was no sure way to know

chambers street a closed ghost station p-ssing through
we seemed to glide

like prisoners inside compartments on some house of
horrors ride

the walls were tiled i hadn’t noticed they seemed so
antiseptically clean

but we knew what we were under the lights were on that
seemed obscene

and there i saw the three initials w, t, and then the c

i’d survived somehow was living but somewhere i
shouldn’t be

at the next stop the doors opened and i emerged up
above ground

i was in another country elysian fields no, chinatown

they say heaven’s high above us h-ll’s not far below

standing on c-n-l street there was no sure way to know

they say heaven’s high above us h-ll’s not far below

standing on c-n-l street there was no sure way to go

- loudon wainwright iii
