Pleasant Street Lyrics

Cover art for Pleasant Street lyrics by Tim Buckley

I read that Tim said in an interview that the song is about an "acid head from Brooklyn". I had thought it was about heroin addiction. I assumed "Christian Licorice clothes" meant funeral clothes worn by the addicts due to the death of so many friends. But if it's about acid that wouldn't make as much sense. Great song regardless.
