McCarren Park when your body gave ground
1 o'clock, June 6, sun out
God hid in amphetamine waves
Margaritas & disposable days
We folded arms & I felt your heart hum
Speedy eyes & I want what I want
The truth, cut with adrenalized fear
Cashed baggies in our ashtray beers
I know you know
I wanna love you but I can't let go
Honey, it never stops
No, it never stops
McCarren Park when the culture crashed down
Copy after copy til the color washed out
I bet the future on an ice cream cone
I kept it secret til I took you home
The day split to two sides
You flipped a quarter, said "I can't decide
Honey, it never stops."
The leaves laughed, the bed burned
I know I want you, but I'm waiting my turn
Honey, it never stops
No, it never stops
McCarren Park when the beauty bled out
20 years in my cottonball mouth
You held my hand, said, "Don't let me drift."
I said, "I'd never even think of it."
And I knew, right there
I could have you but I'd have to share
Honey, it never stops
So we slept, the sun left
I dreamt nothingness in shades of red
Honey, it never stops
No, it never stops
1 o'clock, June 6, sun out
God hid in amphetamine waves
Margaritas & disposable days
We folded arms & I felt your heart hum
Speedy eyes & I want what I want
The truth, cut with adrenalized fear
Cashed baggies in our ashtray beers
I know you know
I wanna love you but I can't let go
Honey, it never stops
No, it never stops
McCarren Park when the culture crashed down
Copy after copy til the color washed out
I bet the future on an ice cream cone
I kept it secret til I took you home
The day split to two sides
You flipped a quarter, said "I can't decide
Honey, it never stops."
The leaves laughed, the bed burned
I know I want you, but I'm waiting my turn
Honey, it never stops
No, it never stops
McCarren Park when the beauty bled out

You held my hand, said, "Don't let me drift."
I said, "I'd never even think of it."
And I knew, right there

Honey, it never stops
So we slept, the sun left
I dreamt nothingness in shades of red
Honey, it never stops
No, it never stops

“It’s loosely based on a two-day sort of run where someone I’m close with and I were just basically playing weekend in the middle of the week and just kinda being messy in that part of Brooklyn where the park is. We ended up in the park at, like, one in the afternoon, after being awake for like 36 hours, drinking frozen margaritas out of styrofoam cups, and I remember thinking, like, this is really good, this is really good, til I thought, this is really bad, which is often how those things kinda went.” -Andy Hull
