Margaret Beil - The Underground Train

Every morning you avoid my eyes
You'd rather read my posters
You'd rather read my posters
Study shoes
Study shoes
Check your nails
check your nails
Adjust your tie
Adjust your tie
Are you late?
Are you late?
Scan the paper
Someone's getting off now
'Hello' would be nice
Or 'good morning''
Maybe we could discuss the weather
You always have your umbrella with you
What's rain like?
Do you have any siblings
Are you close? Here we go
City worker
City worker
Are you happy?
Do you think?
Are you happy?
Do you think?
Or maybe you THINK your like everybody else.
