Outside another yellow moon

punched a hole in the nighttime, yes

I climb through the window and down the street

shining like a new dime

the downtown trains are full with all those Brooklyn girls

they try so hard to break out of their little worlds

You wave your hand and they scatter like crows

they have nothing that will ever capture your heart

theyr'e just thorns without the rose

be careful of them in the dark

oh if I was the one

you chose to be your only one

oh baby can't you hear me now

Chorus

Will I see you tonight

on a downtown train

every night is just the same

you leave me lonely now

I know your window and I know it's late

I know your stairs and your doorway

I walk down your street and past your gate

I stand by the light at the four way

you watch them as they fall

they all have heart attacks

they stay at the carnival

but they'll never win you back

Chorus

Will I see you tonight on a downtown train

where every night is just the same you leave me lonely

will I see you tonight on a downtown train

all of my dreams just fall like rain

all upon a downtown train

Wasted and wounded, it ain't what the moon did, I've got what I paid for now

See you tomorrow, hey Frank, can I borrow a couple of bucks from you

To go waltzing Mathilda, waltzing Mathilda,

You'll go waltzing Mathilda with me

I'm an innocent victim of a blinded alley

And I'm tired of all these soldiers here

No one speaks English, and everything's broken, and my Stacys are soaking wet

To go waltzing Mathilda, waltzing Mathilda,

You'll go waltzing Mathilda with me

Now the dogs are barking and the taxi cab's parking

A lot they can do for me

I begged you to stab me, you tore my shirt open,

And I'm down on my knees tonight

Old Bushmill's I staggered, you'd bury the dagger

In your silhouette window light go

To go waltzing Mathilda, waltzing Mathilda,

You'll go waltzing Mathilda with me

Now I lost my Saint Christopher now that I've kissed her

And the one-armed bandit knows

And the maverick Chinamen, and the cold-blooded signs,

And the girls down by the strip-tease shows, go

Waltzing Mathilda, waltzing Mathilda,

You'll go waltzing Mathilda with me

No, I don't want your sympathy, the fugitives say

That the streets aren't for dreaming now

And manslaughter dragnets and the ghosts that sell memories,

They want a piece of the action anyhow

Go waltzing Mathilda, waltzing Mathilda,

You'll go waltzing Mathilda with me

And you can ask any sailor, and the keys from the jailor,

And the old men in wheelchairs know

And Mathilda's the defendant, she killed about a hundred,

And she follows wherever you may go

Waltzing Mathilda, waltzing Mathilda,

You'll go waltzing Mathilda with me

And it's a battered old suitcase to a hotel someplace,

And a wound that will never heal

No prima donna, the perfume is on an

Old shirt that is stained with blood and whiskey

And goodnight to the street sweepers, the night watchmen flame keepers

And goodnight to Mathilda, too
