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 play to live like that
So I cut the ties and I jumped the tracks
For never to return
Aw Brooklyn Brooklyn take me in
Are you aware the shape Im in?
My hands they shake my head it spins
-
Aw 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
Aw but its just a waste of time
Yea its such a waste of time
That women she's got eyes that shine
Like a pair of stolen polished dimes
-
She asked to dance I said it's fine (aw it's fine)
I'll see you in the morning time
Aw Brooklyn Brooklyn take me in
Are you aware the shape Im in?
My hands they shake my head it spins
-
Aw Brooklyn Brooklyn take me in
Three words that became hard to say
I and love and you
What you are then I am today
Look at the things I do
Aw Brooklyn Brooklyn take me in
Are you aware the shape Im in?
My hands they shake my head it spins
-
Aw Brooklyn Brooklyn take me in
Dumb down and numbed by time and age
Your dreams they 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
Enjoy, peace and love
