== Lyrics == | |||
<poem> | |||
I can't ever understand | |||
Why my life's, been cursed, poisoned, condemned | |||
When I been tryin', every night, to hold y'near me | |||
But I'm tellin you, it ain't easy | |||
Ever since I been ridin' | |||
Ride on the subway train | |||
You can hear the whistle blowin' | |||
Y'might think I'm insane | |||
And now your friends, they're fillin' up my car | |||
But you're so busy readin' Suzy Says, y'can't look now | |||
You didn't see your lovers, they're all dressed in rags | |||
Y'know y'hid as pushin' up posies, tryin' get y'fed | |||
We was all ridin' | |||
Ride on the subway train | |||
And you can hear the captain shoutin' | |||
He thinks I've gone insane | |||
'Cause I keep ridin' | |||
Keep on ridin' | |||
'Cause I keep on ridin', ridin', ridin' | |||
Keep on ridin', yeah | |||
You stop and you stare as I'm leavin' my favorite place | |||
We have no regards, y'can't find a trace | |||
Y'gotta get on back to daddy, tat's all it's gonna be | |||
He got the poison black arts of the pimps, but don't y'st- st- | |||
I seen 'em travelin' | |||
Ride on the subway train | |||
Y'can hear the captain shoutin' | |||
He thinks we've all gone insane | |||
'Cause we keep on ridin', ridin', ridin', ridin' | |||
'Cause we keep ridin', ridin', ridin' | |||
Keep on ridin' | |||
I think I see the train, I see y'got open track | |||
''' | I'm hopin' one of those gonna bring my baby back | ||
Dinah, won't y'blow | |||
Dinah, won't y'blow your horn | |||
Dinah, won't y'blow | |||
Dinah, won't y'blow your horn | |||
Someone's in the kitchen with Dinah | |||
I know whoa whoa whoa | |||
I said someone's in the kitchen with Dinah | |||
I know | |||
I keep on ridin', ridin', ridin' | |||
