PAUL SIMON

PAUL SIMON - A Poem on the Underground lyrics

rate me

The last train is nerly due

the underground is closing soon

in the dark deserted station

resless in anticipation

a man rest in the shadows.

He's resless eye leap and scrach

at all that they can touch or catch

hidden deep within his pocket

safe within his silent socket

he holds his colored crayon.

Now from the tunnels stoning whoom

the carrage rides to meet the groom

and opens wide and welcome doors

but he hesatates then withdraws

deeping in the shadows

And the train is gone suddenly

on wheels flicking silently

like a gently taping litaney

and he holds his crayon rosery

tighter in his hand

Now from his pocket he quickly flashes

the crayon on the wall he slashes

deep apon the advertising

a signle worded poem comprisiing

- four letters

and then his heart is laughing, screming, pounding

a poem across the tracks rebounding

shadowed by the exit light

his legs take their acending flight

to seak the breasted darkness and be suckled by the night.
