lyrics

Finally you come to treat me as bad as I treat you
When everything feels old except my brains
My body came around to finally settle down
To find out that you just don’t feel the same

And every girl I’ve known, and everything I own
And every day I wake up in’s been cursed
And when all is said and done, I know where it comes from
And in the end I probably deserve worse

And I loved New York City and she always stuck there with me
She never asked me where or what I’d been
But I have learned since, that the devil is her pimp
And we don’t come out as clean as we came in

Leave old men high and dry, they wait around to die
And now they finally got a good excuse to
Girls don’t look at you the same
I’m pretty sure that these old brains
Don’t think any different than they used to

Leave old men high and dry, they wait around to die
And you got someone else who’s gonna use you
Just like me it ends the same
I’m pretty sure that these old brains
Think more highly than they used to
