《The East River》歌词

[00:00:00] The East River - Jeffrey Lewis

[00:00:09] If I had a girl on 9th avenue

[00:00:13] I know exactly what she would do

[00:00:16] She would wander at dawn look around At folks

[00:00:20] Find someone better looking who tells Better jokes

[00:00:24] And then she'd leave me and I'd walk Back east alone

[00:00:28] 9 8 7th avenue

[00:00:30] Now I'm crossing Madison

[00:00:31] Sobbing on Park Avenue

[00:00:33] Feeling bad on Lexington

[00:00:35] 3 2 1st avenue

[00:00:37] Going east with the wind

[00:00:39] Cross the FDR to the east river

[00:00:42] Fall right in

[00:00:52] And if I had a girl on 10th avenue

[00:00:55] I know exactly what she would do

[00:00:59] She would wander at day look at all the Guys

[00:01:02] Find someone who'se read more books And has bluer eyes

[00:01:06] And then she'd leave me and I'd walk Back east alone

[00:01:10] 9 8 7th avenue

[00:01:12] Now I'm crossing Madison

[00:01:13] Sobbing on Park Avenue

[00:01:15] Feeling bad on Lexington

[00:01:17] 3 2 1st avenue

[00:01:19] Going east with the wind

[00:01:21] Cross the FDR to the east river

[00:01:24] Fall right in

[00:01:34] And if I had a girl on 11th avenue

[00:01:38] I know exactly what she would do

[00:01:41] She would wander at night hang around At bars

[00:01:44] Find someone who draws better and Plays prettier guitar

[00:01:48] And then she'd leave me and I'd walk Back east alone

[00:01:52] 9 8 7th avenue

[00:01:54] Now I'm crossing Madison

[00:01:56] Sobbing on Park Avenue

[00:01:57] Feeling bad on Lexington

[00:01:59] 3 2 1st avenue

[00:02:01] Going east with the wind

[00:02:03] Cross the FDR to the east river

[00:02:06] Throw myself in

[00:02:09] Until the scum in the east river would Drown me

[00:02:12] The phlegm and rotten rats would Surround me

[00:02:16] The shattered cars at the bottom all Around me

[00:02:19] Until I was just another scum in the East river

[00:02:23] And when I become the scum it's my Job to drown

[00:02:27] The pathetic hopes and failures of the Next unloved clown

[00:02:30] Though maybe it would be a girl and We could become scum together

[00:02:34] Decompose as the river flows

[00:02:36] Become one scum together

[00:02:38] Become one forever

[00:02:40] One bloated rotten putrid scum forever

[00:02:45] 9 8 7th avenue

[00:02:47] Now I'm crossing Madison

[00:02:49] Sobbing on Park Avenue

[00:02:50] Feeling bad on Lexington

[00:02:52] 3 2 1st avenue

[00:02:54] Going east with the wind

[00:02:56] Cross the FDR to the east river

[00:02:58] Fall right in
