Load the car and write the note |
|
Grab your bag and grab your coat |
|
Tell the ones that need to know |
|
We are headed north |
|
One foot in and one foot back |
|
But it don't pay to live like that |
|
So I cut the ties and I jumped the tracks |
|
For never to return |
|
Ah Brooklyn Brooklyn take me in |
|
Are you aware the shape I'm in |
|
My hands they shake my head it spins |
|
Ah Brooklyn Brooklyn take me in |
|
When at first I learned to speak |
|
I used all my words to fight |
|
With him and her and you and me |
|
Oh but it's just a waste of time |
|
Yeah it's such a waste of time |
|
That woman she's got eyes that shine |
|
Like a pair of stolen polished dimes |
|
She asked to dance I said it's fine |
|
I'll see you in the morning time |
|
Ah Brooklyn Brooklyn take me in |
|
Are you aware the shape im in |
|
My hands they shake my head it spins |
|
Ah Brooklyn Brooklyn take me in |
|
Three words that became hard to say |
|
I and love and you |
|
What you were then, I am today |
|
Look at the things I do |
|
Ah Brooklyn Brooklyn take me in |
|
Are you aware the shape I'm in |
|
My hands they shake my head it spins |
|
Ah Brooklyn Brooklyn take me in |
|
Dumbed down and numbed by time and age |
|
Your dreams to catch the world, the cage |
|
The highway sets the traveler's stage |
|
All exits look the same |
|
Three words that became hard to say |
|
I and love and you |
|
I and love and you |
|
I and love and you |
