[Verse 1]
Here we are
We drift like gas
On someone else's bed
I pay high, you know
Here we are
How old are you?
It's just a job to me

[Chorus]
Here the ladies always ring twice
Thought you'd slip away tonight with me
In a subway I called you

[Verse 2]
Hello you, no more of this talk
My boys will be yours
No more I
This conversation drains my patience dry

[Outro]
Here the business always rings twice
No relaxing for the boys tonight
In a subway I called you

Here the tension always shows twice
Shed one tear, it's just routine for now
In a subway I called you
