Seems like the train is never going to come
Been stuck in the hot dirty subway for hours
Reading an old copy of yesterday's newspaper
A man plays sad songs on a violin for spare change
Rats scurrying across the tracks eating scraps
School children throwing pennies at them
Some dude is passed out on the staircase
Pretty sure he's still wasted from last night
Young lovers kissing down at the far end of the platform
Commuters in business suits are pretending not to look
A homeless guy is camped out on a hard wooden bench
He looks like an old wizard from ancient times
The thick air is strong with the sour stench of urine
Tourists huddle around to study a map of the city
A crew of transit workers shine flashlights in the tunnel
Seems like the train is never going to come
