Train Under Water

You were born inside of a raindrop

I watched you falling to your death

And the sun, well she could not save you

She'd fallen down too, now the streets are wet

Body of water

Toxic and timeless

Atlantic ocean

New York skyline

I always get lost

When I leave the village

So I couldn't come meet you

In Brooklyn last night

But I sing glory from my lowest

And I will say peace to the people I meet

While the world waits for an explosion

That instant of life

That wipes the slate clean

So don't be fooled

No don't get lied to

Love was always cruel

And don't act strange

Don't be a stranger

It happened to me, now it's happening to you

But if you take that train under water then we could talk it through

Well if I could tame

All of my desires

Wait out the weather that howls in my brain

Because it seems

That it's always changing

The winds indecision

The sorrowful rain

Yeah, I was a postcard

I was a record

I was a camera

Until I went blind

And now I'm riding

All over this island

Looking for something

To open my eyes

But I still sing glory from my high rise

And I will say thanks if you're pouring my drinks

While the world waits for an explosion

That moment in time, when we'll be set free

So don't stay mad

Just let some time pass

And in the morning you'll wake feeling new

And if I don't come back

I mean if I get side tracked

It's only cause I wanted to

I'm keeping up with the moon on an all night avenue
