Brooklyn
[Verse 1]
A race of angels bound with one another
A dish of dollars laid out for all to see
A tower room at Eden Rock
His golf at noon for free

[Chorus]
Brooklyn owes the charmer under me
Brooklyn owes the charmer under me

[Verse 2]
My century trembles
He feels the end is coming
His face is scowling
Inside he's hung his needs
His looks and dreams could surely kill
He'd long be gone from hell

[Chorus]
Brooklyn owes the charmer under me
Brooklyn owes the charmer under me

[Verse 3]
His lady's aching to bring a body down
She daily prеaches on where shе wants to be
An evening with a movie queen
A face we all have seen
[Chorus]
Brooklyn owes the charmer under me
Brooklyn owes the charmer under me

[Verse 4]
A case of aces done up loose for dealing
A piece of island cooling in the sea
The whole of time we gain or lose
And power enough to choose

[Chorus]
Brooklyn owes the charmer under me
Brooklyn owes the charmer under me
