L.E.S. Girl Song Lyrics

On Avenue B, she paints her lips cherry red
Mirror cracked in her hand
Eyeliner smeared, running out the door
Still there from the night before

Lower East Side girl
Lost in a fragile world
The night is kind
The day is blue
Everything fades away
Except for you, you, you

She wears his leather jacket out in the rain
Sleeps to forget his name
Polaroids are taped to the wall
Can't forget that boy at all

Lower East Side girl
Lost in a fragile world
Ignored all the signs
The rent is overdue
Everything fades away
Except for you, you, you, you

He played guitar on St. Mark's Place
Had a Marlon Brando face
Painted nails the same shade as his boots
Bleach blonde dirty roots

Lower East Side girl
Lost in a fragile world
Drink too much whiskey
Cigarettes when he kissed me
Lower East Side boy
I wasn't meant for you

Everything fades away
Everything fades away

"L.E.S. Girl" is an extremely nostalgic and cinematic break-up song written by Madonna featuring the story of a young girl struggling with memories of her former lover, feeling loneliness and experiencing the pain of heartbreak. The image of cherry-red lipstick, broken mirror, leather jacket, Polaroids and many other elements shows us that her life consists of different pieces and memories that stay forever in her mind. The chorus of this song says "Everything fades away, except for you", which means that no matter what will happen in the future, there will be one thing that will never disappear – the image of a dear person in your heart.

The song was created in collaboration with Watt, Circut, and Stuart Price. It combines very emotional elements of indie pop and synth pop and creates a link between personal memories and city life.
