[00:03.00] @ @
[00:04.00]
[00:04.93] Surprise, surprise
[00:06.69] Everything you know will flash before your eyes
[00:10.24] You're frozen with your hands against the glass
[00:14.83] I'm seeing bright lights
[00:17.66] I'm hearing sharpened knives
[00:20.11] I'm praying to a neon sign
[00:23.71] As I wait for this severed line to take me
[00:30.37] Nobody called
[00:35.18]
[00:36.13] Surprise, surprise
[00:38.33] When a sparrow falls, we go about our lives
[00:41.47] We're busy counting grains of sand
[00:45.98] I follow red birds
[00:49.02] I follow lost words
[00:51.57] I'll follow you into the dark
[00:55.22] We're running for the dead
[00:56.93]
[00:57.82] All the time I wait to see your face
[01:03.74] That's what it all comes down to at 42nd and 5th
[01:07.75] All the time I wait to hear your voice
[01:15.39] At Grand Central Station
[01:22.17]
[01:35.52] All the time I wait to see your face
[01:41.49] That's what it all comes down to at 46th and Flint
[01:47.55] All the time I wait to hear your voice
[01:53.89] At Willis Point and Shea
[01:57.08]
[01:57.95] Every passing second
[02:01.48] I feel it slip away
[02:05.69] All of this we used to watch and play
[02:15.60] All around it's clear that I've been changed
[02:23.61] This will never end
[02:28.72]
[02:35.97] But every time I think I see a train
[02:44.40] It just closed a door
[02:54.71] And the subway funeral is underway
[02:59.60] Movie starts to play
[03:03.06] Watch the thunder of his scream
[03:06.32] For a single frame where I know we're still alive
[03:11.17] But it fades to the grave
[03:16.83] The subway funeral is everywhere
[03:21.80] Every night I see your face on a passing train
[03:26.56] Every inch of track is a sacred path that I follow
[03:29.79] I follow
[03:31.38] It's a silver thread hanging from the hem of heaven
[03:35.28] And you're tied to other end
[03:37.57] A needle that's been buried in the hay
[03:40.21] But I'll find you, I'll find you
[03:43.88]
[03:44.83] Every night I take a ride
[03:50.43] On a subway funeral that never ends
[03:55.57] Never gone to say goodbye
[04:01.46] And that's the subway funeral that's in my heart
[04:09.17]
