Witches In Bikinis: Music

• MP3 play whole song, hi-fi (broadband)
• MP3 play whole song, lo-fi (modem)

I first became aware of them
When I was just a child.
We were playing on the sidewalk
Having fun and getting wild.

But then I lost my keys
Somehow they dropped down through the grating.
I could not leave without them
But my friends got tired of waiting.

As I tried to find my keys
I could hear a distant train.
But what I saw right after that
I still cannot explain.

Down there in the dark
I saw a pair of glowing eyes.
I turned away and ran
As the thing began to rise.

Chorus:
Now people think I’m some kind of kook
When I say I saw a subway spook.
But take it as a warning from me
If you’re underground and happen to see
A subway spook.

They live on rats and people
Who venture underground.
A few who tried to seek them out
Were lost and never found.

They never leave the tunnels
But some folks say they do.
I never did believe it
‘Til I found out it’s true.

Coming home one night
I took a shortcut through the park.
I was all alone
But heard some extra footsteps in the dark.

And something not quite human
Stepped out in front of me.
I turned and ran but left behind
A puddle of my pee.

Chorus
Now people think I’m some kind of kook
When I say I saw a subway spook.
But take it as a warning from me
If you’re underground and happen to see
A subway ssss-p-p-p-p-pook
A subway ssss-p-p-p-p-pook
A subway spook.

Now I ride the train to work
Most every single day.
These things I saw so long ago
Seem so far away.

I still remember as a kid
How the darkness made me feel.
But now I know that what I saw
Couldn’t possibly be real.

Then one day I was riding
When I heard a sudden pop.
In between the stations
The train came to a stop.

I looked around because I thought
I heard some muffled cries,
And there, just inches from the glass,
Was a pair of glowing eyes.

Chorus
Now people think I’m some kind of kook
When I say I saw a subway spook.
But take it as a warning from me
If you’re underground and happen to see
A subway ssss-p-p-p-p-pook
A subway ssss-p-p-p-p-pook
A subway ssss-p-p-p-p-pook
A subway ssss-p-p-p-p-pook
A subway spook.
A subway spook.
