Roosevelt Island
Saw a picture of girl with the same hair And I'm posed next to her copping a smile Made a great photo but I never thought I'd see her again Didn't really wanna ever see her again When I'm alone on the train it was hard to imagine you caring about On your own I can't believe you brought her back for me That day was supposed to be like spring break But it was dark and cool And the sandbags are dirty,and gritty under our shoes. I brought my camera and have a shot of us you And that guy who died down in Philly on the beach The cyclone made you sick It was a seamless sort of trip But the time we took the tram down to Roosevelt island You made me feel like I was More like you than like me I like that But even when I was trying to score And we sat on the bench on that designated corner When we didn't have cell phones And waited for a man and we jumped on the subway back down town It always kicks in and it, always kicks in and it SongtexteSets your mind, something about the motion It sets your mind, sets your mind You really have to convince yourself it would be better outside It doesn't seem like anything could be better than that Riding that train And then you step outside you step outside And the sun is shining Can't believe you would ever go underground That's crazy. How'd they figure out even how to build that thing Oh it goes and it goes Meet at the bar where the floor lights up and Every other square turns to red and green Just to make us go and stop, and stop and go I go sleep on the train And wake up next to that guy we used to hate But the sound of his voice And the sound of his giggling Makes me want to be his friend again And it goes and it goes And it goes and it goes It always kicks in and it, always kicks in and it Sets your mind, something about the motion It sets your mind, sets your mind, It's hard to convince yourself it would be better outside It doesn't seem like anything could be better than that Riding that train And then you step outside you step outside And the sun is shining Can't believe you would ever go underground That's crazy. And it goes, and it goes And it goes, and it goes And it goes, and it goes And it goes, and it goes Oh it goes, and it goes And it goes, and it goes Oh it goes and it goes Aus Songtexte Mania
