Jesse Malin - Brooklyn lyrics

rate me

The last car on the line<br />

I guess you're back doing time<br />

The ghost of Christmas past<br />

Left Walt Whitman in the trash<br />

<br />

You started out with nothing but lonely days<br />

You used to like the sad songs of doom and gloom<br />

You started with nothing but throwaways<br />

You couldn't live with me so you moved to<br />

Brooklyn<br />

<br />

Artificial desserts<br />

Some have cars some have kids<br />

Hit the pathmark after work<br />

Some never been past the bridge<br />

<br />

You started out with nothing but lonely days<br />

You used to like the sad songs of doom and gloom<br />

You started with nothing but throwaways<br />

You couldn't live with me so you moved to<br />

Brooklyn<br />

<br />

I sometimes lie awake until sunrise<br />

Wondering how we become what we despise<br />

<br />

No more couches to surf<br />

Only beaches in your dreams<br />

No more trannies near work<br />

It's still a drag walking in Queens<br />

<br />

It's all blood money in the bank<br />

Somehow some people find the nerve<br />

Like the soldiers they thank down in DC<br />

If I could only find the words
