skyway

you take the skyway

high above the busy little one-way

in my stupid hat and gloves

at night i lie awake

wonderin' if i'll sleep

wonderin' if we'll meet out in the street

but you take the skyway

it don't move at all like a subway

it's got bums when it's cold like any other place

it's warm up inside

sittin' down and waitin' for a ride

beneath the skyway

oh

then one day

i saw you walkin' down that little one-way

where

the place i'd catch my ride most everyday

there wasn't a damn thing i could do or say

up in the skyway

skyway

skyway
