Lyrics
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 Oh, Brooklyn, Brooklyn, take me in Are you aware the shape I'm in? My hands they shake, my head it spins Oh, 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 Ah, 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 Oh, Brooklyn, Brooklyn, take me in Are you aware the shape I'm in? My hands they shake, my head it spins Oh, 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 Oh, Brooklyn, Brooklyn, take me in Are you aware the shape I'm in? My hands they shake, my head it spins Oh, Brooklyn, Brooklyn take me in Brooklyn, Brooklyn take me in Are you aware the shape I'm in My hands they shake, my head it spins, (spins) Oh, Brooklyn, Brooklyn take me in Dumbed-down and numbed by time and age Your dreams the 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
