| 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 track.
|
| For never to return.
|
| Ahh Brooklyn, Brooklyn take me in.
|
| Are you aware the shape I’m in?
|
| My hands they shake, my head it spins.
|
| Ahh 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.
|
| Ahh, 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.
|
| Ahh Brooklyn, Brooklyn take me in.
|
| Are you aware the shape I’m in?
|
| My hands they shake, my head it spins.
|
| Ahh Brooklyn, Brooklyn take me in.
|
| Three words that became hard to say.
|
| I and Love and You.
|
| What you were than I am today.
|
| Look at the things I do.
|
| Ahh Brooklyn, Brooklyn take me in.
|
| Are you aware the shape I’m in?
|
| My hands they shake, my head it spins.
|
| Ahh Brooklyn, Brooklyn take me in.
|
| Ahh Brooklyn, Brooklyn take me in.
|
| Are you aware the shape I’m in?
|
| My hands they shake, my head it spins.
|
| Ahh Brooklyn, Brooklyn take me in.
|
| Dumbed down and numbed by time and age.
|
| You’re dreams that 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. |
