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 want to 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 till 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
