Take The Express

You get in a car and drive real fast

I know that's the way in the suburbs

But here in new york there's just one way to go

You change from local to express

Oh, take the express

It's ninety cents

And you can ride all day

All those new jersey kids coming into clubs

They don't know what they're missing

While they're driving around

We're two miles underground

Stuck in a tunnel near 56th

So you think it's real cool to go where you want to

And polish your car to reflect the sun

While you're stuck in holland tunnel

I'll be here where the fun is smelling the piss of the number 1

Tell me how many people have you met in your pickup

Have you ever been mugged in your blue chevette

You can bet your last rabbit that you'll see stranger habits on a train filled with loony-bin vets

They take the express

I hope against hope that the trains will keep running

To get me to chinatown before twelve o'clock

While you're looking for parking

I'll be looking at peking

The pork in the windows

The fish crates on the block

You get in a car and drive real fast

I know that's the way in the suburbs

But here in new york there's just one way to go

You change from local to express

Oh, take the express
