Will you shut up
I've got something to say
But you just stand there laughing
Right in my face
Don't waste my time
And I won't waste yours
But when you're eyes-deep slurring
You won't know whether to call
'Cause you never gave much thought to me at all
You're sleeping on a subway train
Speeding slowly away
Your destination never came
Now there's nothing to pay
A different side of your brain is speeding slowly away
I've seen your face
I know you're not for real
Who'd have thought you'd be caught
Under the wheels?
You've been stubbed out
Like, a cigarette
You're in the gutter fluttering
Spat out from the mouth
Of old barrels' dregs, no-one likes a bitter taste
You're sleeping on a subway train
Speeding slowly away
Your destination never came
Now there's nothing to pay
A different side of your brain is speeding slowly away
Slowly away
You've woken on a derailed train
Speeding slowly away
Handcuffed to your bitter end
There's always someone to pay
Always turns out that way
Speeding slowly away
Slowly away
Speeding slowly away
Slowly away
I've got something to say
But you just stand there laughing
Right in my face
Don't waste my time
And I won't waste yours
But when you're eyes-deep slurring
You won't know whether to call
'Cause you never gave much thought to me at all
You're sleeping on a subway train
Speeding slowly away
Your destination never came
Now there's nothing to pay
A different side of your brain is speeding slowly away
I've seen your face
I know you're not for real
Who'd have thought you'd be caught
Under the wheels?
You've been stubbed out
Like, a cigarette
You're in the gutter fluttering
Spat out from the mouth
Of old barrels' dregs, no-one likes a bitter taste
You're sleeping on a subway train
Speeding slowly away
Your destination never came
Now there's nothing to pay
A different side of your brain is speeding slowly away
Slowly away
You've woken on a derailed train
Speeding slowly away
Handcuffed to your bitter end
There's always someone to pay
Always turns out that way
Speeding slowly away
Slowly away
Speeding slowly away
Slowly away
