Cure, The - Subway Song Lyrics






Midnight in the subway
She's on her way home
She tries hard not to run
But she feels she's not alone
Echoes of footsteps
Follow close behind
But she dare not turn around

Turn around

    In Brian De Palma's "Blow Out," John Travolta's sound-engineer character could've used this scream for the horror movie he was editing.

  3. C.... ....

    My first E Bass riff i learned to play.

  4. H.... ....

    Al Strobel

  5. J.... P....

    It's 1:22 AM and I'm was doing my homework while listening The Cure for the very first time, I'm listening this specific album and when that scream dropped it scared the shit out of me, so I came to YouTube to see the comments of this song so I couldn't feel so alone

  8. J.... ....

    The first time I heard this song, it was late at night and it scared the crap out of me

  9. I.... M....

    Falling asleep and listening to this song in the bus, travelling at night, when suddenly I hear the scream (or whatever this is), I open my eyes and the first thing I see is a face, floating in front of me, looking like it came out of a corpse. This is what I see for two seconds until I realize it is just the person who's sitting in the chair in front of me.

    I.... M....

    Isaac Maia 😂

    was listening to this album in its entirety for the first time the other night as I was driving alone through an unpopulated, completely dark and empty field with nobody on the road besides me. then, the screamer comes and i felt my blood run cold and my heart skip a beat 😂 almost lost control

    D.... ....

    This shit scared me, I was in the highway in my car, i Thought "Man this music chill me so fucking hard!" Then... a Big scream! Fuck man hahaha

    I thought it had been a car crash, or a skid, but actually it was the fucking The Cure!

  26. K.... ....

    My favourite song off of this album. It truly is creepy, and I would love to know the story behind it, simple as it would probably be.

    Midnight in the subway
