(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)
It ain't the southbound train that keeps you away from me
It ain't 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 the L connects to J
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 hope
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

Everybody pretending like they don't see, but they all 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 hope
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
