Subway Lyrics by Yeah Yeah Yeahs

Mosquito

2013

[Verse 1]
I lost you on the subway car
Got caught without my metro card
I waited and I waited for the express train
Wanna catch up with you, wherever you are

[Chorus]
I waited and I waited
I waited and I waited
I waited and I waited
I waited and I waited
And it was hot
And when it stopped
It was metal on the mental
It was somethin' in my heart
It was metal on the mental
It was somethin' in my heart
My heart

[Verse 2]
Got on the train and I took a seat
Thought, 'Why are these people all watching me?'
Caught my reflection in the subway car
Thought I'd look at you, whoever you are

[Chorus]
I waited and I waited
I waited and I waited
I waited and I waited
I waited and I waited
And it was cool
And when it stopped
It was metal on the mental
It was somethin' in my heart
Metal on the mental
It was somethin' in my heart

[Bridge]
Well, I got, I got, I got, I got
Got off, got off on you
Well, I got, I got
I got off, got off, got off, got off on you
Well, I got, got off, I got
Got off, got off, got off on you
I got, I got, I got
Got off, got off, got off on you

[Chorus]
It was metal on the mental
It was somethin' in my heart
It was metal on the mental
Some somethin' in my heart
