lyrics

Old lady, fairly empty subway train
Stumbles through the threshold all covered in rain
Shoots us all a death glare and slumps in the corner
Has everyone's attention
With her complete lack of order
She's crazy, she's a freak
A disappointingly worthless weird whacky antique
And almost immediately
She locks on to her target
Snaps like a rabid dog
With something fresh to bark at

Me and the others
Silently panic
But it's just the world that we live in
This is just the world that we live in

Stop reading
That paper
Makes me nervous
Makes me shaky
I'm just a human
It's my nature
To lose control of my
Bad behavior

Shouts back without hesitation
His response is rough incautious indignation
He stands his ground and shows he means business
And he is much louder and he is much more viscious
He starts to swear and she starts to cry
Why won't he just stop reading the Times
He's pointing his fingers and shaking his hands
And she's all like I should have known you wouldn't understand

Me and the others
Silently panic
But it's just the world that we live in
This is just the world that we live in

Stop reading
That paper
Makes me nervous
It makes me shaky
I'm just a human
It's my nature
To lose control of my
Bad behavior

59th st and it's already her station
She mumbles something about eternal damnation
But he ain't stopping, he wants her to know
Something important just as the doors close
And all the tourists sigh collectively
Proud, he is of removing her effectively
Another classic New York story
Real crazy
Now that's funny

Stop reading
That paper
Makes me nervous
Makes me shaky
I'm just a human
It's my nature
To lose control of my
Bad behavior
