Written by:Jeffrey Lewis[00:00:04]
Scowling crackhead Ian[00:00:33]
I can't forget your face[00:00:37]
You were a foul human being[00:00:39]
Way back on saint marks place[00:00:43]
A white thug when we were both pour[00:00:46]
A life struggling for one quarter more[00:00:49]
In sixth grade that's what you'd mug me for[00:00:53]
A switch blade pressed up to my jugular[00:00:56]
So I feard for my next[00:00:59]
Save streats were few[00:01:01]
My nerves grew recked near the second avenue[00:01:03]
I soon learned how to steer clear of a crook or a crew[00:01:06]
And know I'm still here[00:01:09]
And look so are you[00:01:11]
Forever you've been crackhead Ian[00:01:13]
It was your kid nickname if we spoke it[00:01:16]
You were an insane human being[00:01:19]
Whether you ever did or didn't really smoke it[00:01:22]
I'd know that tall thin brand overstroll[00:01:39]
All sun burned and grimm since ten or twelve years old[00:01:42]
I guess yesterday is gone[00:01:45]
Faces still intend our souls[00:01:47]
An I guess both our mom's places're still on rent controll[00:01:49]
I was that wick small sad sag punier guy[00:01:52]
You was as big tall and bad back in junior high[00:01:55]
No sight of someone's face has ever been scarrier[00:01:59]
You'd come chase me from street fighter one or space harrier[00:02:02]
Hello again crackhead Ian[00:02:06]
I still can't forget your foul face[00:02:08]
My fellow human being[00:02:12]
I know we're both still planted on saintmarks place[00:02:14]
We've lived our pour lifes in close parallel[00:02:18]
Within this four or five blocks we both know so well[00:02:21]
You must have grew up near the former theater or old groce hotel[00:02:25]
I'm sure you're aware of me here[00:02:28]
But oh I can't tell[00:02:30]
It seems you never outgrew your little greedy enrage[00:02:32]
I still see you look so mean though now we are middle-aged[00:02:35]
I was used dropping last year at you loughing to tell[00:02:38]
About bashing some dude with a chair till he fell[00:02:41]
I slipped fast by you talking fear in our eyes would touch[00:02:45]
Drifting past by new mornings that it all changed so much[00:02:48]
I've never known your live story sure it's rotten and though[00:02:51]
But hoe long before these roles for us have gotten old enough[00:02:55]
You must've had it so rough kid[00:02:58]
Well I wonder[00:03:03]
Forged by a tiny portion of love or fortune[00:03:05]
Goes lightning or goes thunder[00:03:08]
You're a bad one crackhead Ian[00:03:11]
A sad son and sun burned big[00:03:15]
But of all the best kids seen downtown in our pre-team[00:03:18]
It's just you and me left I think[00:03:21]
How long till you notice[00:03:25]
How long untill you shake my hand[00:03:28]
How long untill we're old man-neighbours[00:03:31]
Last tribe's man of the vanished plant[00:03:34]
We never even did exchange names[00:03:37]
You were an evil kid from the 80's[00:03:41]
When we played these arcade games[00:03:44]
That made life grate in the 80's[00:03:47]
Me and Ian[00:03:52]
Me and Ian[00:03:55]
Ryding into the night of an east-village dream with[00:03:57]
These games in the street and the head and[00:04:00]
