coney island Lyrics


I found a letter in the mailbox today
And i said "thank you for your thoughts but i am done"
I said that i would never build this up right here
And he said thats why i caint work with you son
I caint let this go im on my way
You can only hold my dimond ring
I go crawling back to the city i love
Because its already taken everything
Im going to Coney Island to have myself a dog
And reminisce why i still hate it here
Its all these people with their cotton candy eyes
Its so sweet now put the train in gear
I caint let this go im on my way
You can only hold my dimond ring
I go crawling back to the city i love

Because its already taken everything
The ground is swallowing my options for release
And if it rains it might just disappear
I counted twenty-seven birds up there today
Im thinking thats why i still love it here
Im thinking thats why i still love it here
I caint let this go im on my way
You can only hold my dimond ring
I go crawling back to the city i love
Because its already taken everything
Because its already taken everything

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

On an empty NYC subway train circa 1997, Colombian-born, Brooklyn-based singer and songster John Wolfington inexplicably decided to switch cars at the 14th Street station. Sitting in the next car, deep into a novel, was Thurston Moore. Coincidentally carrying a tape containing 'Coney Island Freak' — a song that talks about a trip to the freak show and references SY in its lyric — and feeling he had been somehow 'urged' to switch cars, he handed the tape to Thurston, who politely accepted it.
