Words and music by Josh Max
My subway song, which I wrote...on a plane.
Dear Sir Or Madame
He: The subway was jammed
I got slammed
Into a passerby
Not a word was said but my face turned red
When she looked me in the eye
So I figured ok
What if this was my last day?
Would I let her get away
Or would I give something a try?
She: Thousands of guys crackin' wise on the subway
But when we got nose-to-nose
I knew he wasn't one of those
Who just want to make a play
I smelt his cologne
Like he was someone I'd known
It was as though we were alone
And all at once, we were heard to say:
Them: Dear sir or madame
Don't think me insane
But I think I'm about to kiss a perfect stranger on a train
I don't know you from Adam
Don't ask me to explain
But I've never kissed a stranger on a train
She: 8:45
The train arrived
I was late
He: Ah, but the best-laid plan made by woman or man
Can be intercepted by fate
She: I had my doubt
He: The lights all went out
She: A little voice began to shout---it said,
Them: "Don't wait, don't wait, don't wait!"
CHO
No, I've never kissed a stranger on a train
