Lyrics:

Out on Allen Street, it's 7 in the morning
If I help him up, will he give me fair warning?
Let me lick the wounds I got while I was out last night
Wish you were here with me but
Your girlfriend's wasting your time
Nothing's gonna last forever
I feel better safe than sorry
Nothing's gonna last forever
Nothing's gonna last forever
I feel better safe than sorry
Nothing's gonna last forever
Out on Bowery at midnight in the summer
I can't help but smile when she says I'm her lover
Back in Harlem now, you won't even call me
Cut myself up, now it makes me feel more holy
Nothing's gonna last forever
I feel better safe than sorry
Nothing's gonna last forever
Nothings gonna last forever
I feel better safe than sorry
Nothing's gonna last forever
