heart is a troubled captain
in poisoned television waters
I have this air-conditioned
nightmare
nightmare
Like that book you gave to me
last summer
That made me think that everything was so
much worse than it really was
My heart is a troubled captain
But let's not get caught up on the weather
I could keep searching for the meaning
Try, try to keep this all together
But you've got green
eyes like the forest
I got lost in on the way to
some other life
Brooklyn, Brooklyn, my dear
Brooklyn, my dear,
you're killing me
Brooklyn, Brooklyn, my dear
Brooklyn, my dear, you're killing me
My hand is a braindead magnet
So I keep waking up on fire
Be neath this low rise second city
that's turning good men into liars
And maybe I'm not all that good
But I was better in your west coast bed
My hand is a braindead magnet
But let's not get caught up on connections
I could keep searching
for a meaning
But I'm still looking for directions
I was baptized in your parents' pool
in southern California
Then I fled
Brooklyn, Brooklyn, my dear
Brooklyn, my dear,
you're killing me
Brooklyn, Brooklyn, my dear
Brooklyn, my dear, you're killing me
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
turning good men into liars
Brooklyn, Brooklyn, my dear
Brooklyn, my dear, you're killing me
Brooklyn, Brooklyn, my dear
Brooklyn, my dear, you're killing me
Brooklyn, Brooklyn, my dear
Brooklyn, my dear, you're killing me
Brooklyn, Brooklyn, my dear
Brooklyn, my dear, you're killing me
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la,
la, la (you're killing me)
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la,
la, la, la (you're killing me)
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la,
la, la (you're killing me)
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la,
la, la, la, la (you're killing me)
