Built off a dimly-remembered and dimly lit 3:00 a.m. acoustic/vocal track from the next dimension and captured on minidisc (remember those? Great little format!) about a decade ago.

lyrics

For all the dead junkies and dreamers everywhere
Drowning in the dissonance going nowhere
I hear you talk of dying for your art
Your Lower East Side Cool just falls apart
Pin-eyed hookers on Delancey Street whisper sweet nothings at you in the dark
Reflections on the edge of a knife flicker like a candle
Sometimes all the twists and turns are more than I can handle

In the strobe lights of the club I ask “haven’t we met?”
And I see her blood red tattoo as I pour her into bed
The ecstacy we took is coming on
We’ve got forever ‘til we see the dawn
Somewhere on a rooftop a saxophone plays out it’s long lonesome song
Reflections on the way a life turned out play across my mind
But if there’s a better way out it’s more than I can find

Life happen so fast except me I’m in slow motion
My own secret Jesus part shame part devotion
3 lovers of mine have the plague
I look so good though I’m dressed in rags
I hustle tricks for $20 bags while I fly my freak flag
You’ve got your safe little life and yeah I’m happy for you
But me I’m a slut and I’m a whore, there’s nothing I won’t do…

For those who still dream
For all the newborn babies
For those who’s inner child screams
For all the dead junkies
