You get in a car and drive real fast |
|
I know that's the way in the suburbs |
|
But here in New York there's just one way to go |
|
You change from local to express |
|
Oh, take the express |
|
It's ninety cents |
|
And you can ride all day |
|
All those New Jersey kids coming into clubs |
|
They don't know what they're missing |
|
While they're driving around |
|
We're two miles underground |
|
Stuck in a tunnel near 56th |
|
So you think it's real cool to go where you want to |
|
And polish your car to reflect the sun while you're stuck in Holland Tunnel |
|
I'll be here where the fun is smelling the piss of the Number 1 |
|
Tell me how many people have you met in your pickup |
|
Have you ever been mugged in your blue Chevette |
|
You can bet your last Rabbit that you'll see stranger habits on a train filled with loony-bin vets |
|
They take the express |
|
I hope against hope that the trains will keep running |
|
To get me to Chinatown before twelve o'clock |
|
While you're looking for parking |
|
I'll be looking at Peking |
|
The pork in the windows |
|
The fish crates on the block |
|
You get in a car and drive real fast |
|
I know that's the way in the suburbs |
|
But here in New York there's just one way to go |
|
You change from local to express |
|
Oh, take the express |
