==Lyrics==
Lower Eastside tourist, out of your depth 
Seem to need alcohol more than you need breath 
Drinking on the company, phony smile confusion 
Bone and blood illusion, where to go 
Happy you can't focus, no love at all 
Alcohol and exhaustion 
Hunger and revulsion 
What's beyond human? 
What's beyond moving? 
People come and people go 
Slip through your fingers 
Can't stop the flow

Lower Eastside tourist: the trash you throw away 
Think someone will save you or stand in your way or watch your decay 
Turn into hunted prey or a dumb cliché 
People come and people go 
Drop in the ocean, drown in the flow

Slam the door behind you 
Vaporizers, tranquilizers 
Leave your toys behind you 
For the light-house or for the blind spot 
Slam the door behind you and wear a blindfold, 
so you can't see yourself disappear

People come and people go 
Decks loaded, watching the overflow 
People come and people go 
Drop in the ocean, drown in the flow
