Brooklyn Bridge

You barely said a word
You didn’t have to
You always liked my collection of heavy metal t-shirts
You can have those too
Brooklyn Bridge, Brooklyn Bridge
It’s two for the show
Brooklyn Bridge, Brooklyn Bridge
For the boats that pass below
For all the bridges joining Manhattan
Why in the world did you go and choose that’n
Imagine our surprise
Then disappointment
When we found butterflies
In the ointment
A glass against the wall
Hear the neighbours dancing
But put it all down to bad timing
Or don’t put it down at all
Just go out walking
To Brooklyn Bridge, Brooklyn Bridge
It’s two for the show
Brooklyn Bridge, Brooklyn Bridge
For the endless traffic flow
Dance to the beat of thought bubbles busting
No amount of paint will stop the damn thing from rusting
Brooklyn Bridge, Brooklyn Bridge
Cables cut the skies
Brooklyn Bridge, Brooklyn Bridge
Into pieces of pie
A shoebox full of our paraphernalia
Old photographs and postcards from Australia
Judas Priest, Funeral Feast, Iron Maiden
The sleeves are ripped and the print is fading
Headhunter, Hellhammer and Pantera
Last rites for the t-shirt wearer
