Lyrics Puma Perl Music Joe Sztabnik

End of the World

It’s the end of the world Beginning on Grand Tall skinny girls, yogurt stands Pop-up galleries, indie bands End of the world beginning on Grand

It’s not the East Village, it’s the Lower East Side Where my father was born, where my grandmother died She was coming up the steps on East Broadway

Lyrics Puma Perl Music Joe Sztabnik

End of the World

It’s the end of the world Beginning on Grand Tall skinny girls, yogurt stands Pop-up galleries, indie bands End of the world beginning on Grand

It’s not the East Village, it’s the Lower East Side Where my father was born, where my grandmother died She was coming up the steps on East Broadway Never made it to the top, I pass it every day My kids can’t live where they used to play The old disappeared and the new have their way

The end of the world Beginning on Grand

My father was born on Avenue C I always lived east of the DMZ Copped my bags on the Mighty D When Avenue B was the place to be Avenue B was the place to be

It’s the end of the world Beginning on Grand Pop-up galleries, Yogurt stands Five-dollar coffee, indie bands End of the world Beginning on Grand

Now there’s a Holiday Inn on Delancey Street Used to be a place where the junkies’d meet If you didn’t come correct you were gonna get beat Now there’s a Holiday Inn on Delancey Street A Holiday Inn on Delancey Street

It’s not the East Village It’s the Lower East Side Good Friday processions Chinese French fries Projects bodegas Speakers on the sills Kids in wheelchairs Fire drills

Now, it’s the start of a new world Beginning on Grand Forget about the coffee and the yogurt stands Those tall skinny girls and their indie bands We’re gonna start a new world Beginning on Grand

And it’s not the East Village it’s the Lower East Side Where my father was born Where my grandmother died…
