Brooklyn Bridge - Darren Hanlon

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
