You barely said a word
|
You didn't have to
|
You always liked my collection of heavy metal t-shirts
|
You can have those too
|
|
Brooklyn Bridge, Brooklyn Bridge
|
It's two for the show
|
Brooklyn Bridge, Brooklyn Bridge
|
For the boats that pass below
|
|
For all the bridges joining Manhattan
|
Why in the world did you go and choose that'n.
|
|
Imagine our surprise
|
Then disappointment
|
When we found butterflies
|
In the ointment
|
|
A glass against the wall
|
Hear the neighbours dancing
|
But put it all down to bad timing
|
Or don't put it down at all
|
Just go out walking
|
|
To Brooklyn Bridge, Brooklyn Bridge
|
It's two for the show
|
Brooklyn Bridge, Brooklyn Bridge
|
For the endless traffic flow
|
|
Dance to the beat of thought bubbles busting
|
No amount of paint will stop the damn thing from rusting
|
|
Brooklyn Bridge, Brooklyn Bridge
|
Cables cut the skies
|
Brooklyn Bridge, Brooklyn Bridge
|
Into pieces of pie
|
|
A shoebox full of our paraphernalia
|
Old photographs and postcards from Australia
|
|
Judas Priest, Funeral Feast, Iron Maiden
|
The sleeves are ripped and the print is fading
|
Headhunter, Hellhammer and Pantera
|
Last rites for the t-shirt wearer
|
