Coney Island - Good Old War

i found a letter in the mail box today

and i said, thank you for your thoughts, but i’m done

i said that i would never build this up right here

and he said, that’s why i can’t work with you, son

but i can’t let this go, i’m on my way

and you can only hold my diamond ring

i go crawling back to the city i love

'cause it’s already taken everything

i’m going to coney island to have myself a dog

and reminisce why i still hate it here

it’s all these people with their cotton candy eyes

it’s so sweet

now put the train in gear

i can’t let this go, i’m on my way

and you can only hold my diamond ring

i go crawling back to the city i love

'cause it’s already taken everything

the ground is swallowing my options for release

and if it rains they might just disappear

i counted twenty seven birds up there today

i’m thinking that’s why i still love it here

but i can’t let this go i’m on my way

and you can only hold my diamond ring

i go crawling back to the city i love

'cause it’s already taken everything

'cause it’s already taken everything
