  • Everything seems to go wrong when I stop drinking
    Everything seemed to go my way last night
    Everything seems so wrong to me this morning
    I know things will be brighter later tonight
    On Ludlow Street
    Chinatown's coming on Ludlow Street
    Puerto Rican's are runnin' on Ludlow Street
    Soon, musicians will haunt it on Ludlow Street
    Where Indians once hunted
    And it's hard
    Just move along

    While I surrendered my ego you fed yours
    All my fantasies died when you said yours
    I have dangled my pride to forget yours
    Will my mind be at ease when you get yours?
    We'll find out soon enough

    It started back in 1624
    The Lenape tribes would soon get forced from their home
    Soon we'll all get pushed out as soon as I get sober
    I remember why I drank it all away
    On Ludlow Street

    Nauseous regrets are calling me on the phone
    My shoes, they seem to be my only home
    The only thing to last will be my bones
    Oh, tonight you'll hear the animals next door to you moan

    On Ludlow Street
    Faces are changing on Ludlow Street
    Yuppies invading on Ludlow Street
    Night life is raging on Ludlow Street
    History's fading
    And it's hard to just move along

    While I surrendered my ego, you fed yours
    All my fantasies died when you said yours
    I have dangled my pride to forget yours
    Will my mind be at ease when you get yours?
    We'll find out soon enough

    While they defended their ego, you fed yours
    All their fantasies died when you said yours
    They have dangled their pride to forget yours
    Will their souls be at ease when you get yours?
    We'll find out soon enough
    I'll found out soon enough Writer/s: Julian Casablancas
