Brooklyn

I look in my crystal ball

And see nothing

I quietly wish I had it all

Or at least something

While the short waves

Sends chaos around us

I don't hear a thing

It's all so quiet in Brooklyn

If I had a fresh start

I'd probably fail

So I drink my coffee

And open the mail

Now I hope the cruel words in your letter

Are baptised by my tears

I would try to make it all better

But it would take years

Cause while I've been feeding your ego

Mines been wearing thin

It's all so quiet in Brooklyn

I'd get lost anywhere

As long as I'm found

I could be anyone in any town

Why is there no one to help me

Find my way through

Cause if there was someone to help me

Maybe I could help you

Seems everyone's already started

While I don't know where to begin

It's all so quiet

It's all so quiet

It's all so quiet in Brooklyn
