Intro

x2

Strung out, needle in arm

 And the ocean is bleeding salt on your wounds

 So I sat, as armies marched

 But you found me awake but asleep on the porch

 And don't you cry, my darling

Nashville is forgotten

 And don't you cry, my darling

New York is the ocean

x2

Brooklyn, quiet and cold

 When the bars close

 You're stuck counting cracks on the street

 Then war breaks, and you're swinging the gun

 But when the bomb drops

 You're stuck counting cracks in your teeth

 And don't you cry, my darling

Nashville is forgotten

 And don't you cry, my darling

New York is the ocean

Strung out, needle in arm

 And the ocean is bleeding salt on your wounds
