It Never Stops - Bad Books, Manchester Orchestra, Kevin Devine

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
