State of the Body 99 Lyrics

You can say we tried

In 1999

Lower East Side

Just like how pride

Comes before a fall

And talking through the mist

You were just a kid

You find out quick

You know nothing

Something you won't admit

You cut your bangs in the bathroom stall

I wrote my name on the mirror and the wall

You came back from wherever you been

Can't believe the state you're in

City miles, looking like a ghost

Translucent light

What's wrong, got you down, is your shirt too tight?

Ah Jessie don't, leave him alone

He's sensitive right?

The lights can be sharp in the darkness

I hold my drink

It's his life regardless

I'm not his keeper

I fight this feeling all over

And he can push through the crowd

But they will shout him down

You reap what you sow

That's easy to know

Hard to figure out

I cut my bangs in the bathroom stall

You wrote your name on the Q train ah

City miles looking like a ghost

Translucent light

Coming down on the river tonight
