Inside this city, on this empty train   hoping that the late night never lets me go   I travel to the station, to the underground      Where the dark is a friend to me   we race along the subways   he's a cold hand on my shoulder   he has a plan to get you nowhere   and the wind is a friend to me   we're singing on the sidewalk   with the gay boys in the back street   there's a new band and a new beat      well, I remember every now and then   some of the places that we used to go   but, baby, tonight I'm drunk and I don't care      and the dark is a friend to me   we race along the subways   with the gay boys in a back street   there's a new gang and a new beat   now it all comes back to me   we're singing on the sidewalk   There's a cold hand on my shoulder   another plan will get you nowhere   now it all comes back to me      you look so stranded, are you all alone?   I wish there was something more that I could say   you may be someone that I used to know   now that's a memory, that was yesterday   so take a hold, now,   don't ever let love go   don't give it up, now   don't ever let them know   you shake me, babe, you shake me, babe   you give it up so fine   you shake so fine      they turn their faces and they hide their eyes   they don't want to understand, they tell you love is a lie   There's a man on the corner, screaming at the street
