Letter To The East Coast Lyrics

being joan crawford at 21
was easy
living in new haven in 1925
was simple and kind

like you and me at the start
it’s right and bright at the top
but the rook’s not to blame
for those who didn’t have an endgame

the tenements of new haven, 2010,
spare me that, my friend
being joan crawford at the end,
well that was hard

you and me at the start
it’s simple and pure at the top
but the rook’s not to blame
for those who didn’t have an endgame
