You don't need much money to ride the silver train Just enough to keep yourself from sleeping in the rain Satellites are chasing silver clouds away and Technicolor raindrops wash gumballs down the drain Gonna leave the city, gonna hop a train tonight Gotta one-way ticket and the moon is shining bright Gonna leave the city, gonna catch the Hudson Line 'Cause you know I love the city but I haven't got the time Satellites are chasing the silver clouds away Mercury's are falling, yeah, who forgot to pray Silver trains will whistle and glisten by the moon Molly has her kite and Joe has his balloons Satellites are chasing silver clouds away I'm stuck on the tracks to sleep away the day Gonna leave the city, gonna hop a train tonight Gotta one-way ticket and the moon is shining bright Gonna leave the city, gonna catch the Hudson Line 'Cause you know I love the city but I haven't got the time
