[Verse 1]
New York City soothing my
Itchy, itchy month of May
Time has passed for Ms. Onassis
Decay on display

[Chorus]
I don't want to go down
I don't want to go down
I don't want to go down like she did
And I can't understand why
Something good's got to die, before we miss it

[Verse 2]
Mumbled talk through pigeon park
And Hastings is wasting away
Religiously, they seem to sin
Buy, sell or trade for amens

[Chorus]
I just don't want to feel
I just don't want to feel
I just don't want to feel like they feel
Hollow body for sound
Trade my coat for a gown

[Bridge 1]
You're now way up in my arms, you know I love you
Just a little bit, little bit, little bit more

[Solo]

[Verse 3]
Raisin' nose down to chin
Smoke after smoke, they all trickle in
Anything for anything
And ending up with nothing

[Chorus]
Simple, pimpled young man
Sores all over his hands
He's sleeping, not so silently
I'll mop the floors for you all
I'm that fly on the wall
Really big and listenin'

[Outro]
Burned the hand of a friend of mine
And know, Bub, I know that you could fly a mile high
You told me nothing's ever gonna come between
An' nothing's ever gonna come between
An' nothing's ever gonna come between
My dumptruck and me
