Jump the Turnstile

Jump the turnstiles, never pay the toll

Jump the turnstiles, never pay the toll

Jump the turnstiles, never pay the toll

Doo-wah-diddy and bust in with the pre-roll

Jump the turnstiles, never pay the toll

Jump the turnstiles, never pay the toll

Jump the turnstiles, never pay the toll

Doo-wah-diddy and bust in with the pre-roll

If the southbound train keeps you away from me

And the stations are all the spaces in between

Without a ticket without a dollar in my jeans

You looked up to kiss me, but you were always taller in my dreams

Who really understands how the night connects to day?

When you can't even understand how it all connects today

All the working stiffs who had to work can say

I wonder why that little girl was crying on the train

Without a friend

Without a home

Without a phone

All alone, so far away from home

Jump the turnstiles, never pay the toll

Jump the turnstiles, never pay the toll

Jump the turnstiles, never pay the toll

Doo-wah-diddy and bust in with the pre-roll

Jump the turnstiles, never pay the toll

Jump the turnstiles, never pay the toll

Jump the turnstiles, never pay the toll

Doo-wah-diddy and bust in with the pre-roll

Everybody pretending that they don't see, that they don't know

That you're thinking of yesterday, but you're wearing tomorrow's clothes

It isn't fair when you pay the fare and he sends you back

You're left laying flat like a penny on the tracks

So hop the turnstile, baby, take the Q until you're sick

Stand on the platform, see the light through the wind

One second you're moving along the next, you feel like shit

Never a free ride, never a yang without the yin

Without a friend

Without a home

Without a phone

All alone, so far away from home

Jump the turnstiles, never pay the toll

Jump the turnstiles, never pay the toll

Jump the turnstiles, never pay the toll

Doo-wah-diddy and bust in with the pre-roll

Jump the turnstiles, never pay the toll

Jump the turnstiles, never pay the toll

Jump the turnstiles, never pay the toll

Doo-wah-diddy and bust in with the pre-roll
