Not My Kind

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

"Don't let it get you.."

who are these people

every one of them green

all acting like they're friend of mine

they haven't got a reason, man

they got no rhyme

I don't want to stay here

this is wasting my time

she's just another girl

he's just another boy, and they're

not my kind
