Street corner bands, hot dog stands Choosing sides for kick the can Peal the years back, see it all Written on the subway wall Written on the subway wall It's just a frozen yesterday To make it more would take away Remember the wonder of it all It's written on the subway wall It's written on the subway wall Girl you can't go beck No I can't go beck Stayin' here right here with you Cuban heels and pin striped cars Takin' suzy to the church bazaar Singin' desire in the hall It's written on the subway wall Yeah written on the subway wall Basement lights and gangway fights Hydrants flooding August nights Those tender years I can recall Written on the subway wall Written on the subway wall I feel so close and yet so far girl Where are you little star Twinkle twinkle little star How I wonder where you are Above the clouds so high Like a diamond in the sky Pool halls in the afternoons Translators playing elvis tunes Sunday morning out playing stickball It's written on the subway wall Written on the subway wall Makin' out at matinees We slowly went our separate ways Friday night dance at bronx park hall It's written on the subway wall It's written on the subway wall Girl you can't go back No you can't go back Girl I'm stayin' here with you
