Metro-North

He said oh my god
I just got fired and I slept with my boss
You know you think she would've tried
But now love is lost
And I ain't got no job
Got no 1099 money on the side
He said it's hard I feel like Sisyphus and the boulder
Especially 'cause I got syphilis when I boned her
And my cure was always to get rich and get older
So I never thought I'd be broke as fuck on this train
From New Haven I'm trucking the seven thirty something
Was $13.25 and my balance went to nothing
Now I'm tapped, it's ugly, the IRS got on me
They said I did them dirty so they cleaned me out of money
I'm not young or earning and now I got a kid
So they don't know the strife and the shithole that I'm in
He said man, I'm sorry you sat next to me on this train
I said fuck that just tell me 'bout your pain
Well I'm tired and on my own
As I train away from home
Under lights that never dim
No one will be waiting
No one will be waiting
One stop on the two train and I'm off
Quick stint on the s boi it ain't long
Look alive as I criss cross in the throng
Fly under green skies never lost
Back to the oak trees my home
Only stay for a heartbeat my fam's gone
So I'm back in the red seat onboard
Metro-North heading southerly once more
He sat up and looked out the window it was black
Like a mirror I could see all his hope in the past
And the car that he crashed
And that summer night he was jumped on Broadway
On 71st they weren't so mellow
On the ground he was seeing double
Beat around left for dead he was bleeding out his head
And now he gets migraines while he migrates on the train
And that was when we heard"I couldn't help but hear"
A woman in the aisle sympathizing with his year
She said, you've had it so rough, and trust me that I know
Since 2022 I had three cancers come and go
And now a fourth is on me it ain't hurting any less
Like my abusive ex it's been all up on my breasts
So please, come over, I need you at my side
As they sat together she told him why she cries
Well I'm tired and on my own
As I train away from home
Under lights that never dim
No one will be waiting
No one will be waiting
One stop on the two train and I'm off
Quick stint on the s boi it ain't long
Look alive as I criss cross in the throng
Fly under green skies never lost
Back to the oak trees my home
Only stay for a heartbeat my fam's gone
So I'm back in the red seat onboard
Metro-North heading southerly once more
Once more
