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 its just a waste of time
|
Yeah its such a waste of time
|
|
That woman shes 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 travelers 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
|
|
