Roosevelt Island

You saw a picture of a girl with the same hair
 On a lamppost next to a cop and a smile
 Made a great photo but I never thought I'd see her again
 Didn't really want to ever see her again!
 You went alone on the train
 It was hard to imagine you carrying it back on your own
 Can't believe you brought it back for me
 That day was supposed to be like spring break
 But it was dark and cool
 And the sand felt all dirty and gritty under our shoes
 I brought my camera and I have a shot of us
 You and that guy who died down in Philly on the beach
 The Cyclone made you sick
 It was a similar sort of trip
 By the time we took the tram down to Roosevelt Island
 You made me feel like I was more like you than like me
 I liked that!
 We even went uptown to score sat on a bench on that designated corner
 When we didn't have cellphones and waited for a man
 And jumped on the subway back downtown
 It always keeps spinning, it always keeps spinning
 It sets your mind, sets your mind back in motion
 It sets your mind, sets your mind
 Really have to convince yourself that we'll be outside
 It doesn't seem like anything could be better than that
 Riding that train
 Then you step outside, step outside in the sunshine
 Can't believe you would ever go underground
 That's crazy! How'd they ever figure out how to build that thing?
 Oh it goes and it goes
 Meet at the bar where the floor lights up
 And every other square turns red and green
 Just to make us go and stop and stop and go
 I go sleep on the train and wake up next to that guy we used to hate
 But the sound of his voice and the sound of his giggle
 Makes me want to be his friend again
 And it goes and it goes
 And it goes and it goes
 It always keeps spinning, it always keeps spinning
 It sets your mind, sets your mind back in motion
 Sets your mind, sets your mind in motion
 Sets your mind, sets your mind
 It's hard to convince yourself it will be better outside
 It doesn't seem like anything could be better than that
 Riding that train
 And then you step outside
 You step outside in the sunshine
 Can't believe you would ever go underground
 That's crazy!
 And it goes and it goes
 And it goes and it goes
 And it goes and it goes
 And it goes and it goes
 And it goes and it goes
 And it goes and it goes
 And it goes and it goes
 And it goes and it goes
 And it goes and it goes
 And it goes and it goes
