Lyrics, minus narrator's imagination:

Tuesday morning, 8:15
I was ridin' to work on the Jackson Park Express
Seemed like any other day
She walked in, took the seat right across the aisle
I saw her smile; she smiled
I gave her a look; she looked at me
I arched my eyebrow, ever so slightly
Then she let out a long sigh
I gave her a penetrating stare

Yes, It all happened
On the Jackson Park Express
On the Jackson Park Express
On the Jackson Park Express
On the Jackson Park Express

She crinkled her nose; I gave her a look
She picked up her newspaper and started reading to herself
Then I glanced down at her shirt for a second

Yes, It all happened
On the Jackson Park Express
On the Jackson Park Express
On the Jackson Park Express
On the Jackson Park Express

I cleared my throat quietly, and then I looked away
Then I'm pretty sure she looked at me out of the corner of her good eye
She never spoke a word

I pointed to the side of my mouth
She licked the corner of her lips
I nodded

And then the bus stopped at 53rd Street, and she got up suddenly
She brushed my leg as she left the bus

I never got her number
She never bothered to leave her address

On the Jackson Park Express
On the Jackson Park Express
On the Jackson Park Express
On the Jackson Park Express
On the Jackson Park Express
On the Jackson Park Express
On the Jackson Park Express
On the Jackson Park Express

Me too. I wasn't sure if I was going to leave in the choruses, but that sealed the deal. I like how it almost still works as a song. A boring song, sure, but still.

Alright, that settles it. I am going to chop the song up, only leaving those lyrics...

That was great! It kind of reminded me of the site that removes Garfield from the Garfield cartoons.

I don't understand how doing that with the lyrics was such a feat since I thought people had already done that in their minds but w/e

Not a feat? It took me MINUTES! One time I accidentally Ctrl-V'd when I meant to Ctrl-X, but quickly recovered. That could have been a disaster!

I think you're going to have to take care of that bump on your own for a while...
