Brooklyn Lyrics
The last car on the line
I guess you're back doing time
The ghost of Christmas past
Left Walt Whitman in the trash
You started out with nothing but lonely days
You used to like the sad songs of doom and gloom
You started with nothing but throwaways
You couldn't live with me so you moved to
Brooklyn
Artificial desserts
Some have cars some have kids
Hit the pathmark after work
Some never been past the bridge
You started out with nothing but lonely days
You used to like the sad songs of doom and gloom
You started with nothing but throwaways
You couldn't live with me so you moved to
Brooklyn
I sometimes lie awake until sunrise
Wondering how we become what we despise
No more couches to surf
Only beaches in your dreams
No more trannies near work
It's still a drag walking in Queens
It's all blood money in the bank
Somehow some people find the nerve
Like the soldiers they thank down in DC
If I could only find the words
I guess you're back doing time
The ghost of Christmas past
Left Walt Whitman in the trash
You used to like the sad songs of doom and gloom
You started with nothing but throwaways
You couldn't live with me so you moved to
Brooklyn
Some have cars some have kids
Hit the pathmark after work
Some never been past the bridge
You used to like the sad songs of doom and gloom
You started with nothing but throwaways
You couldn't live with me so you moved to
Brooklyn
Wondering how we become what we despise
Only beaches in your dreams
No more trannies near work
It's still a drag walking in Queens
Somehow some people find the nerve
Like the soldiers they thank down in DC
If I could only find the words
Its an amazing song,suprised i'm the first to comment on it. The song sums up so much about the world in its current state.
Great song, i first heard Ryan Adams covering the song live in Canada circa 2005. You can find the show on archive.org and he does an excellent more upbeat rock version of this song. Although Jesses version does indeed rock!
