Young man with a tear in his eye

A beginner to the broken heart

He said "Mama, no matter what glue I use, my world just falls apart"

So he packed his bags and cash

And hitchhiked up 95

And it was 2 AM

The boy's eyes were red

But he could see that skyline



Stella's going up to New York City and

I'm getting the pieces stuck in my heart

She said that she don't need me this time

This time I'm fallin'

Stella's leaving me for someday

She's got it all worked out

It ain't cool where the sun don't shine at all



There's no rest for the wicked child

And Stella hadn't slept in days

Her mind was haze of New York City, sunshine, JD, and cocaine

She was just a crazy child born

Another sign of a revolution

Sifting through the sin for who knows who



She was like "Let's go downtown tonight

I need voodoo so I don't mind dying,

Please don't let me fall asleep alone."

Stella's going up to New York City and

I'm getting the pieces stuck in my heart

She said that she don't need me this time

This time I'll be fallin'

Stella's leaving me for someday

She's got it all worked out and

It ain't cool where the sun don't shine at all

Stella just won't slow down



Stella just won't slow down

Slow down

Slow down
