Julian Casablancas - Ludlow St. Lyrics

Artist: Julian Casablancas

Album: Phrazes For The Young

Genre: Rock

  • Songwriters: Julian Casablancas

Everything seems to go wrong when I start drinking
Everything seemed to go my way last night
Everything seems so wrong to me this morning
I know things'll be brighter later tonight

On Ludlow Street
Chinatown's coming on Ludlow Street
Porta Ricans are runnin' on Ludlow Street
Soon musicians will haunt it

On Ludlow Street
Red Indians once hunted
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 I get yours?
We'll find out, soon enough

It started back in 1624
The Len ape tribes would soon get
Forced from their home
Soon we'll all get pushed out now

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

    You aren't. Their fourth album is slated for release this year. They have festivals booked for the summer. They are still together and moving forward.

    breaking up is always hard; it is hard to just move along....it sounds like Julian breaking up with the band. I hope I am not right!
