L.E.S. Girl Lyrics

On Avenue B she paints her lips cherry red
Mirror cracked in her hand
Eyeliner smeared running out the door
Still there from the night before

Lower East Side girl
Lost in a fragile world
The night is kind
The day is blue
Everything fades away
Except for you
You, you

She wears his leather jacket out in the rain
Sleeps to forget his name
Polaroids are taped to the wall
Can't forget that boy at all

Lower East Side girl
Lost in a fragile world
Ignored all the signs
The rent is overdue
Everything fades away
Except for you
You, you, you

He played guitar on St. Marks Place
Had a Marlon Brando face
Painted nails the same shade as his boots
Bleached blonde, dirty roots

Lower East Side girl
Lost in a fragile world
Drink too much whiskey
Cigarettes when he kissed me
Lower East Side boy
I wasn't meant for you

Everything fades away
Everything fades away
