Tompkins Square Park Lyrics

For me, the song is about a failed relationship that wrecked the singer, and eventually led him to the point where he doesn't want to live anymore. "And oh babe, can you tell what's on my tongue? Can you guess that I'll be gone? With the twilight"

I kind of think of this song as a last phone call between the singer and whoever he was in a relationship with, reminiscing about what could've been and how he tried his best to save the relationship. Just my interpretation though.
