Lyrics for Doctor Diamond
I'm the driver of an underground train Chaos in the streets above, to me it's all the same I shake your houses, then I'm gone, keeping time down here below I could drive my train to hell, not a soul would know I am the driver of an underground train Just imagine who I am and breathe the letters of my name Before he said a single word, I called the foreman on the line When he looked me in the face, and he made the fatal sign I am the driver of an underground train The lonely life can't bother me, far away from wind and rain I come upon the station lights, with a mighty rushing sound Then hiss of lorry, for the private life, I drive around I am the driver of an underground train Climb aboard, just climb aboard, your loss is my eternal gain Squeeze your precious body in before I quickly close the doors Riding in the smoky dark, where you are mine, and I am yours
