I’ll smoke your cigarettes, breathe in the fires that you light
Buy all the brownstones and sleep in a new one each night
Run along Brighton Beach, tracing the saltwater tide
If I picture you on the Q does it mean you’ll arrive
Well it won’t mean nothin’ ‘til we wake up in Brooklyn
I follow you through several neighborhoods I can’t recall
Cross concrete that holds summer heat though it’s well into fall
Seventeen stoop sales until you have found the right dress
Of course I’ll agree that I think it’s the best
Mmmmm, something’s happening
The sun is so bright but it’s still the middle of the night.
Where is the night?
Sell me the Brooklyn Bridge. I want my name on the deed.
I’m going native. You’ll never recognize me.
Real estate dreams over streets just trying to wake up.
I won’t bother telling you that I’m in love
‘Cause it won’t mean nothin’ ‘til we wake up in Brooklyn
