Death In Greenpoint by Mishka Shubaly Lyrics
[Chorus]
Break, heart, break
Fail, liver, fail
But if you can hear me complaining
I’m neither dead or in jail
I can’t remember where I parked my car
And I’m afraid of what the future holds
I don’t want to die in Greenpoint
[Verse 1]
Coke birds sing songs of distant car alarms
Distant car alarms sound like birds
The moon hangs so low, it looks like a streetlight
Over three old men with three tall boys of Coors Light
You’re screaming underneath my window
My roommate’s blacked out on the toilet again
I’m checking into the emergency room
Under a fake name at four AM
[Chorus]
Break, heart, break
Fail, liver, fail
But if you can hear me complaining
I’m neither dead or in jail
I can’t remember where I parked my car
And I’m afraid of what the future holds
I don’t want to die in Greenpoint
[Verse 2]
Where the sewage treatment plant smells suspiciously like Chinese food
I don’t even want to think about what that means
We’re straining our eyes, looking for those big city lights
But it’s not even Jersey, it’s Queens
If that’s my mother calling on the phone
Dude, I am totally not home
I’m exercising my right to surrender to the poison of my choice
I am the master of my own worst case scenarios
[Chorus]
Break, heart, break
Fail, liver, fail
But if you can hear me complaining
I’m neither dead or in jail
I can’t remember where I parked my car
And I’m afraid of what the future holds
I don’t want to die in Greenpoint
[Outro]
I feel like I’m going to die in Greenpoint
I think I’m going to die in Greenpoint
I know I’m going to go with a head full of blow
In a Polish disco
In Greenpoint
Break, heart, break
Fail, liver, fail
But if you can hear me complaining
I’m neither dead or in jail
I can’t remember where I parked my car
And I’m afraid of what the future holds
I don’t want to die in Greenpoint
[Verse 1]
Coke birds sing songs of distant car alarms
Distant car alarms sound like birds
The moon hangs so low, it looks like a streetlight
Over three old men with three tall boys of Coors Light
You’re screaming underneath my window
My roommate’s blacked out on the toilet again
I’m checking into the emergency room
Under a fake name at four AM
[Chorus]
Break, heart, break
Fail, liver, fail
But if you can hear me complaining
I’m neither dead or in jail
I can’t remember where I parked my car
And I’m afraid of what the future holds
I don’t want to die in Greenpoint
[Verse 2]
Where the sewage treatment plant smells suspiciously like Chinese food
I don’t even want to think about what that means
We’re straining our eyes, looking for those big city lights
But it’s not even Jersey, it’s Queens
If that’s my mother calling on the phone
Dude, I am totally not home
I’m exercising my right to surrender to the poison of my choice
I am the master of my own worst case scenarios
[Chorus]
Break, heart, break
Fail, liver, fail
But if you can hear me complaining
I’m neither dead or in jail
I can’t remember where I parked my car
And I’m afraid of what the future holds
I don’t want to die in Greenpoint
[Outro]
I feel like I’m going to die in Greenpoint
I think I’m going to die in Greenpoint
I know I’m going to go with a head full of blow
In a Polish disco
In Greenpoint
