There's a high-rise skyline, edging on the view,
A testament to dreams, old and new.
In the shadow of the Metropolis, I make my claim,
In this ceaseless rhythm of the SkyTrain game.
SkyTrain's hum is a modern sonnet,
Overhead, the pines make a bonnet.
From zone two I ride, to where I must,
On these steel rails, I place my trust..
On the expo line, the skytrain ride
Oh you’re so grand
Baby, take my hand
Baby, east to king George
Babe, west to waterfront
In this life of movement,
I’m just a participant
Ohhh ohhh ohhh

Well New Westminsters’ got a charm, but it's fleeting, it’s fleeting
Here comes Columbia, hold on, but it’s fleeting, it’s fleeting
And I met a coder in Surrey, but we got lost, we got lost
Cuz by the time we reached King George, he was gone, he was gone
So I went back, I went back, I went past 22nd, I past Edmonds, it’s all a blur
Each station is like a snapshot, a sociological tour.
The Expo Lines' a paradox, a modern work of art, from the 80s
It's a window to the soul of the city's beating heart.
And I’m riding on the Expo, Waterfront to King George, yeah baby

There's a dude with a boombox, playin tunes, on the expo line
There's a girl on her laptop, penning her first book, on the expo line
There’s a guy reciting Shakespeare lines, on the expo line
Welcome to where life intertwines, welcome to the expo line
You're the theatre of our city, you’re the theatre, on the expo line
