Lyrics

in the morning twice a week i go swimming in new town Creek my nose runs i begin to cough my hair and skin flake off i start in Brooklyn swim to Queens turn around and swim back again my bones ache i can hardly speak when im swimming in new town Creek it was in the autumn three years now my love and i spoke wedding vows and when the evening air was warm we'd stroll that dirty shore we'd count the tires and paper cups and all the fish floating belly up she declared if you ever treat me mean I'll throw my body in the new town stream so i hurled myself into the deep and i hold my breath till i fall asleep the only girl i ever wanted to keep is lying at the bottom of new town creek in the morning twice a week i go swimming in new town creek my nose runs i begin to cough my hair and skin flake off i start in Brooklyn swim to Queens turn around and swim back again my bones ache i can hardly speak when im swimming in new town Creek
