there's a station on the 3 train
where the cell service comes in spotty
and that is where I first received
transmission from your fantasy
hadn't thought much of it then
with no idea of what's in store
though you've been distant then again
I just stood clear of closing doors
felt for the key inside my pocket
my bike I hope I locked it
knew a walk back from Penn station
would get me home too late and
it'd be another day
before I could say
all the things I meant were true
but deep down knew weren't meant for you
there's one way out
no matter how hard you try
one way out
from berlin or bedstuy
there's no faster way lose yourself in someone else
than leaving like you're running out of time
there's one way out
of this life
I considered decorations
in the busy subway station
by the sign that said wet paint
throw a fresh coat of twisted brains
that wouldn't get my point across
that I am mostly better off
plus the guy that cleans the walls
never made long distance calls
faked another smile
for the lady with a child
who was holding up a line
of people pushing through turnstiles
no I am in no rush
it is just pointless
long island might as well be in another universe
