Beastie Boys - Stop That Train lyrics
[Beastie Boys - Stop That Train lyrics]
It's 4am, I've got the Hasenpfeffer Ale
I've got nothing to lose
So I'm pissing on the third rail
Groggy-eyed and fried
And I'm headed for the station
D train ride to Coney Island vacation
This one’s… dedicated to the boofers in
The back of the 1 train
They'll be kicking out windows
High on cocaine
And then I jump the turnstile
I lost my last token
Riding between the cars, pissing, smoking
Head for the last car
Fluorescent light blackout
Policeman told my homeboy, "Yo
Put that crack out"
You know you light up when the lights go down
And then you read the New
York Post, Fulton Street, downtown
Same faces every day
But you don't know their names
Party people going places on the D train
Stop that train, I wanna get on
Check it trench coat, wingtip, going to work
And you'll be pullin a train
Like you're Captain Kirk
Pickpocket gangsters, payin' their debts
I caught a bullet in the
Lung from Bernhard Goetz
Overworked and underpaid
Starin' at the floor
Prostitute's spandex caught in
The slide doors
Now you're stuck between the stations
It seems like an eternity
Sweating like sardines in
A flophouse fraternity
$5000 fine for disturbing the peace
The neck, tortoise, your Lees are creased
Hot cup of coffee, and the donuts are Dunkin
Friday night and Jamaica Queens funkin'
Elevated platform, I'm never gonna conform
Riding over the diner where I
Always get my toast warm
Bust into the conductor's booth
And busted out rhymes
Over the loudspeaker about the hard times
Sat across from a man readin El Diario
Riding the train down from the El Barrio
Went from the station, to Orange Julius
I bought a hot dog -
From WHO? George Drakoulias
I've got nothing to lose
So I'm pissing on the third rail
Groggy-eyed and fried
And I'm headed for the station
D train ride to Coney Island vacation
This one’s… dedicated to the boofers in
The back of the 1 train
They'll be kicking out windows
High on cocaine
And then I jump the turnstile
I lost my last token
Riding between the cars, pissing, smoking
Head for the last car
Fluorescent light blackout
Policeman told my homeboy, "Yo
Put that crack out"
You know you light up when the lights go down
And then you read the New
York Post, Fulton Street, downtown
Same faces every day
But you don't know their names
Party people going places on the D train
Stop that train, I wanna get on
Check it trench coat, wingtip, going to work
And you'll be pullin a train
Like you're Captain Kirk
Pickpocket gangsters, payin' their debts
