Longfellow - Brooklyn

God bless America
Last night the girls were wild
I'm a slack-jawed sophisticate
Not much to look at
But that’s alright

But I don’t know why
Don’t know how it feels
You tell me that you’re star struck
I don’t know why, don’t know why

And I'm trying to keep the fire alight
But need to keep the damage down
Have to make this right
And you can be our oxygen
‘Cause I need you now
So maybe I could breathe you in?
You can make this right

Goodnight and farewell friend
We haven’t dropped
But the noose keeps tightening
So much for alibis
We stand together
Still so incriminated

I don’t know why
Don’t know how it feels
You’re dirty but you cleanse the eye
Don’t know why, don’t know why

And I'm trying to keep the fire alight
But need to keep the damage down
Have to make this right
And you can be our oxygen
‘Cause I need you now
So maybe I could breathe you in?
You can make this right

London, your streets
Won’t love me like this
They don’t love me like this
They won’t love me, love me

London, your streets
Don’t love me like this
They won’t love me like this

London, your streets
Won’t love me like this
They don’t love me like this
They won’t love me, love me

London, your streets
Don’t love me like this
They won’t love me like this

And I'm trying to keep the fire alight
But need to keep the damage down
Have to make this right
And you can be our oxygen
‘Cause I need you now
So maybe I could breathe you in?
You can make this right

God bless America
