Subway Train
New York Dolls

I can't ever understand
Why my life's
Been cursed poison?
Condemned

When I been tryin' every night
To hold ya near me
But I'm tellin' you
It ain't easy

Ever since I been ridin'
Right on the subway train
You can hear the whistle blowin'
Wa might think, I'm goin' insane

And now your friends
They're fillin' up my car
But you're so busy readin'
Suzy says, ya can't look now

You didn't see your lovers
There all just in rags
Ya know, ya hid as pushin' up posies
Tryin' get ya fed

We was all ridin'
Right on the subway train
And you can hear the captain shoutin'
He thinks, I've gone insane

'Cus I keep ridin'
Keep on ridin'
Cus' I keep on ridin', ridin', ridin'
Keep on ridin', yeah

You stop and you stare
As I'm leavin' my favorite place
We have no regards
Ya can't find a trace

Ya gotta get on back to daddy
That's all it's gonna be
He got the poison black arts of the pimps
But don't ya st-st

I seen 'em travelin'
Right on the subway train
Ya can hear the Captain shoutin'
He thinks we've all gone insane

'Cus we keep on
Ridin' ridin' ridin' ridin'
'Cus we keep ridin', ridin', ridin'
Keep on ridin'

I think a see the train
I see ya got open track
I'm hopin'
One of those gonna bring my baby back

('Cus I guess, I said)
Dinah won'tcha blow?
Dinah won'tcha blow your horn?
Dinah won'tcha blow?
Dinah won'tcha blow your horn?

Someone's in the kitchen with Dinah
I know whoa, whoa, whoa
I said, ‽Someone's in th kitchen with Dinah”
I know

I keep on
Ridin', ridin', ridin'

Puss 'n' Boots

And now you're walkin'
Just like you're ten feet tall
Go ahead

Lickity split
Better move quick
Better not slip
Better get hip

I don't think it fits
Lookin' for a hoot
I'm gonna shout
Where'd you get those boots!

Just like Puss 'n' Boots
I hope you don't get shot for tryin'
Oh baby, shot for tryin'

Oh, little Rhinestone target
Has to change his name
'Cause all the boys and girls
Think that you're too easy game

Don't you know the shoes
Is makin' him lame
Shut him up boss
Keep the change

Just like Puss 'n' Boots
I hope you don't get shot for tryin'
Get shot for tryin' Shot for tryin'

There's just one thing
That I'm trying to say
Sometimes, you got to get away some place

And now you're walkin'
Just like you're ten feet tall
Oh boy, girl that's just all

Just like Puss 'n' Boots
I hope you don't get shot for tryin'
Baby shot for tryin'

If all you wanna do is save your face
And what you gonna do after this place
I'm screamin' help, help, help
Full of grace, now what I say

Little Rhinestone target
Has to change his name
All the boys and girls
Think, he's too easy game

Don't you know the boots
Are makin' him lame
I'm screamin' shut him up boss
Keep the change

Just like Puss 'n' Boots
I hope you don't get shot for tryin'
Baby shot for tryin'

Well, this is one thing that I'm tryin' to say
Sometimes you got to get away some way
Until you're walkin' just like you're ten foot tall
Boy girl that should be all

Just like you're ten foot tall
I sure hope you don't fall, oh
When you're ten foot tall
Go ahead now

Making that split
Better move quick
Better not slip
Better get hip

I done plead the fifth
Going for a hoot
I thought, I'd shout
Hey where did you get those boots

Just like Puss 'n' Boots
I hope you don't get shot!
