Loudon Wainwright III - No Sure Way lyrics
So I started out on High Street had to travel into town like some Orpheus descending through a turnstile underground From Brooklyn Heights into Manhattan which was where I had to be Now you have to take the A train there's no more service on the C And when you are underwater sometimes the mind plays tricks And there beneath the East river it felt like the river Styx The first stop was Broadway Nassau a few more passengers got in We all sat no one was standing there somewhere we'd never been They say heaven's high above us hell's not far below In that subway tunnel there was no sure way to know Chambers Street a closed ghost station passing through we seemed to glide Like prisoners inside compartments on some house of horrors ride The walls were tiled I hadn't noticed they seemed so antiseptically clean But we knew what we were under the lights were on that seemed obscene And there I saw the three initials W, T, and then the C I'd survived somehow was living but somewhere I shouldn't be At the next stop the doors opened and I emerged up above ground I was in another country Elysian Fields no, Chinatown They say heaven's high above us hell's not far below Standing on Canal Street there was no sure way to know They say heaven's high above us hell's not far below Standing on Canal Street there was no sure way to go |
