Everything seems to go wrong when I stop drinking.
Everything seemed to go my way last night.
Everything seems so wrong to me this morning.
I know things will be brighter later tonight.
On Ludlow St.
Chinatown's coming on Ludlow St.
Puerto Rican's are runnin' on Ludlow St.
Soon, musicians will haunt it on Ludlow St.
Where Indians once hunted.
And it's hard.
Just move along.
While I surrendered my ego you fed yours.
All my fantasies died when you said yours.
I have dangled my pride to forget yours,
Will my mind be at ease when you get yours?
We'll find out soon enough.
It started back in 1624.
The Lenape tribes would soon get forced from their home.
Soon we'll all get pushed out as soon as I get sober.
I remember why I drank it all away.
On Ludlow St.
Nauseous regrets are calling me on the phone
My shoes, they seem to be my only home.
The only thing to last will be my bones.
Oh, tonight you'll hear the animals next door to you moan.
On Ludlow St.
Faces are changing on Ludlow St.
Yuppies invading on Ludlow St.
Night life is raging on Ludlow St.
History's fading.
And it's hard to just move along.
While I surrendered my ego, you fed yours.
All my fantasies died when you said yours.
I have dangled my pride to forget yours.
Will my mind be at ease when you get yours?
We'll find out soon enough.
While they defended their ego, you fed yours.
All their fantasies died when you said yours.
They have dangled their pride to forget yours.
Will their souls be at ease when you get yours?
We'll find out soon enough.
I'll found out soon enough.
Everything seemed to go my way last night.
Everything seems so wrong to me this morning.
I know things will be brighter later tonight.
On Ludlow St.
Chinatown's coming on Ludlow St.
Puerto Rican's are runnin' on Ludlow St.
Soon, musicians will haunt it on Ludlow St.
Where Indians once hunted.
And it's hard.
Just move along.
While I surrendered my ego you fed yours.
All my fantasies died when you said yours.
I have dangled my pride to forget yours,
Will my mind be at ease when you get yours?
We'll find out soon enough.

All my fantasies died when you said yours
I have dangled my pride to forget yours
Will my mind be at ease when you get yours?
We'll find out soon enough...
Hanging out with narcissists. Either one of his parents probably was one.

Let me know what you think!
What's with that solo? Why?
Otherwise, tolerable.
Overall good song. :)
..
random i know, but if you were to ever watch it you'd understand my point.
Everything seems to go wrong when I stop drinking
Everything seemed to go my way last night
Everything seems so wrong to me this morning.
I know things will be brighter later tonight...
On Ludlow Street, Chinatown's coming
On Ludlow Street, Puerto Ricans are running
On Ludlow Street, soon musicians will haunt it
On Ludlow Street, where Indians once hunted
And it's hard to just move along
While I surrendered my ego you fed yours
All my fantasies died when you said yours
I have dangled my pride to forget yours
Will my mind be at ease when you get yours?
We'll find out soon enough.
It started back in 1624
The Lenape tribes would soon get forced from their home
Soon we'll all get pushed out -- now as soon as I get sober
I remember why I drank it all away ...On Ludlow Street!
Nauseous regrets are calling me on the phone
My shoes they seem to be my only home
The only thing to last will be my bones
Oh, tonight you'll hear the animals next door to you moan
On Ludlow Street, faces are changing
On Ludlow Street,yuppies invading
On Ludlow Street, nightlife is raging
On Ludlow Street, history's fading
And it's hard to just move along...
While I surrendered my ego you fed yours
All my fantasies died when you said yours
I have dangled my pride to forget yours
Will my mind be at ease when you get yours?
We'll find out soon enough...
While they defended their ego you fed yours
All their fantasies died when you said yours
They have dangled their pride to forget yours
Will their souls be at ease when you get yours?
We'll find out soon enough.
I'll find out soon enough.
I'm from Philly, but I do understand the problems facing New York and so many other cities. My mother and all her family are native New Yorkers and tell me how it's completely changed. Quite sad. I know there are more layers here, but this is easy to start with. :)
It used to be waaaay more united, and people would talk to eachother much more..
anyway, there's also the "love" undertone to this song as well, I think..
Maybe not... I guess it really depends on how you interpret the "Ego" lines.
my favourite bit is: While I surrendered my ego you fed yours...
