Letter From Allen St.

Dear love, wish you could see it

How around here, it's never really dark

Neon's buzzing, still I can't cheat it

Like it's illuminating this broken heart

Don't you worry, I'm not sending you this letter

I know you would not like who I've become

I might hand you something better

Once I'm done drinking myself dumb

It's true what Vincent said about this town

How it's just waiting to swallow you down

Inside I'm dying, what's become of me?

Stumbling drunk down on Allen Street

Desperately crying but no one's hearing me

All alone

Down

Here the buildings and what surrounds me

Seems to bring me to my knees

It's of you it reminds me

Though the signs are in Chinese

Now there's not too much left of me

Lost my mind somewhere by Houston and B

Inside I'm dying, what's become of me?

Stumbling drunk down on Allen Street

Desperately crying but no one's hearing me

All alone down on Allen Street

This time I'm all on my own

The Grey Lady's looking sweet

But she can't help tonight

This desperation's more than I can bare

Thirty-seven hundred miles astray, not feeling right

I'll send a silly postcard and disappear

Inside I'm dying, what's become of me?

Stumbling drunk down on Allen Street

Desperately crying but no one's hearing me

All alone down on Allen Street

All alone down on Allen Street

Can't find my way home from Allen Street

This time I'm all on my own
