Prurient - Greenpoint lyrics

You don't want to hurt anyone You don't want to burden anyone You just want to disappear You're an honest-to-god alcoholic Waking up again in Beth Israel You left your mother's ashes In his apartment Now he can't sleep at night And wants me to take them What should I do with them? Should I scatter them in the East River? I remember you talked about that The East River isn't romantic anymore you know That's where the suicides go Or maybe that's what you wanted in the end To be mixed together and reunited with your mother Mercury in retrograde Didn't you hear they found titanium in the ocean? And around Sheepshead Bay where it's hard to breathe They're wearing masks Some even take off their clothes But cover their mouths with conch shells Others say they're just doing it to get high Wallowing through heavy waves Eroding Your cheek bones s** in like jellyfish Words Slide in and out Your teeth are yellow sponges Your tongue a ragged seaweed Will you sink beneath the bridge And leave a bloodless body like smashed masonry
