They Might Be Giants - Token Back To Brooklyn lyrics

And we're just watching it sinking

The fare went up to one hundred dollars

And we can never go home again

The bill collector's drinking lighter fluid

And says he'll tell our parents

Our feet start running at a furious pace

But we can't get away

Notes

The Dial-a-Song demo version (sometimes called "Get Away"):

Get away

Get away

The token back to Brooklyn fell between the grating

And we're just watching it sinking

The fare went up to one hundred dollars

And we can never go home again

The fare collector's drinking lighter fluid

And claims he killed our parents

Our feet start running at a furious pace

But we can't get away
