On Avenue B, she paints her lips cherry red Mirror cracked in her hand Eyeliner smeared running out the door Still there from the night before Lower east side girl Lost in a fragile world The night is kind The day is blue Everything fades away Except for you, you, you She wears his leather jacket out in the rain Sleeps to forget his name Polaroids are taped to the wall Can't forget that boy at all Lower east side girl Lost in a fragile world Ignored all the signs The rent was overdue Everything fades away Except for you, you, you, you He played guitar on St. Mark's Place Had a Marlon Brando face Painted nails the same shade as his boots Bleach blonde dirty roots Lower east side girl Lost in a fragile world Drink too much whiskey Save the rest when you kiss me Lower east side boy I wasn't meant for you Everything fades away Everything fades away
