Thursday - Subway Funeral lyrics

rate me

<BR>

Surprise, surprise<br>

Everything you know will flash before your eyes<br>

You're frozen with your hands against the glass<br>

I'm seeing bright lights<br>

I'm hearing sharpened knives<br>

I'm praying to a neon sign<br>

As I wait for this severed line to take me<br>

Nobody called<br>

<br>

Surprise, surprise<br>

When a sparrow falls, we go about our lives<br>

We're busy counting grains of sand<br>

I follow red birds<br>

I follow lost words<br>

I'll follow you into the dark<br>

We're running for the dead<br>

<br>

All the time I wait to see your face<br>

That's what it all comes down to at 42nd and 5th<br>

All the time I wait to hear your voice<br>

That's what it all comes down to<br>

At Grand Central Station<br>

<br>

All the time I wait to see your face<br>

That's what it all comes down to at 46th and Flint<br>

All the time I wait to hear your voice<br>

That's what it all comes down to<br>

At Willis Point and Shea<br>

<br>

Every passing second<br>

I feel it slip away<br>

All of this we used to watch and play<br>

(All of these things we've been)<br>

All around it's clear that I've been changed<br>

(All these things won't change)<br>

This will never end<br>

<br>

But every time I think I see a train<br>

It just closed a door<br>

And the subway funeral is underway<br>

Movie starts to play<br>

Watch the thunder of his scream<br>

For a single frame where I know we're still alive<br>

But it fades to the grave<br>

The subway funeral is everywhere<br>

<br>

Every night I see your face on a passing train<br>

Every inch of track is a sacred path that I follow<br>

I follow<br>

It's a silver thread hanging from the hem of heaven<br>

And you're tied to other end<br>

A needle that's been buried in the hay<br>

But I'll find you, I'll find you<br>

<br>

Every night I take a ride<br>

On a subway funeral that never ends<br>

Never gone to say goodbye<br>

And that's the subway funeral that's in my heart<br>

<BR><BR>
