\*\* Can you ever go home again?  
Getting off public transport \*\*

_Well, let me tell you of the story of a man named Charlie  
On a tragic and fateful day  
He put ten cents in his pocket, kissed his wife and family  
Went to ride on the MTA  
Well, did he ever return?  
No he never returned and his fate is still unlearned  
He may ride forever 'neath the streets of Boston  
He’s the man who never returned_
