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
