Allen Street Pretty Sick

[Verse 1]
Out on Allen Street at 7 in the morning
If I help him up, will he give me fair warning?
Let me lick the wounds I got while I was out last night
Wish you were here with me, but
Your girlfriend's wasting your time

[Chorus]
Nothing's gonna last forever
I feel better safe than sorry
Nothing's gonna last forever
Nothing's gonna last forever
I feel better safe than sorry
Nothing's gonna last forever

[Verse 2]
Out on Bowery at midnight in the summer
I can't help but smile when she says I'm her lover
Back in Harlem, now you won't even call me
Cut myself up now, it makes me feel more holy

[Chorus]
Nothing's gonna last forever
I feel better safe than sorry
Nothing's gonna last forever
Nothing's gonna last forever
I feel better safe than sorry
Nothing's gonna last forever
