[Verse 1]
They say I'm too young to love you
I don't know what I need
They think I don't understand
The freedom land of the seventies
I think I'm too cool to know ya
You say I'm like the ice I freeze
I'm churning out novels like
Beat poetry on Amphetamines
I say
I say
[Chorus]
Well, my boyfriend's in the band
He plays guitar while I sing Lou Reed
I've got feathers in my hair
I get down to Beat poetry
And my jazz collection's rare
I can play most anything
I'm a Brooklyn baby
I'm a Brooklyn baby
[Verse 2]
They say I'm too young to love you
You say I'm too dumb to see
They judge me like a picture book
By the colors, like they forgot to read
I think we're like fire and water
I think we're like the wind and sea
You're burning up, I'm cooling down
You're up, I'm down
You're blind, I see
But I'm free
I'm free
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
I’m talking about my generation
Talking about that newer nation
And if you don't like it
You can beat it
Beat it, baby
You never liked the way I said it
If you don't get it, then forget it
So I don't have to fucking explain it
[Chorus - Variation]
And my boyfriend’s in the band
He plays guitar while I sing Lou Reed
I've got feathers in my hair
I get high on hydroponic weed
And my jazz collection’s rare
I get down to beat poetry
I'm a Brooklyn baby
I'm a Brooklyn baby
[Outro]
Yeah my boyfriend's pretty cool
But he's not as cool as me
Cause I'm a Brooklyn baby
I'm a Brooklyn baby
They say I'm too young to love you
I don't know what I need
They think I don't understand
The freedom land of the seventies
I think I'm too cool to know ya
You say I'm like the ice I freeze
I'm churning out novels like
Beat poetry on Amphetamines
I say
I say
[Chorus]
Well, my boyfriend's in the band
He plays guitar while I sing Lou Reed
I've got feathers in my hair
I get down to Beat poetry
And my jazz collection's rare

I'm a Brooklyn baby
I'm a Brooklyn baby
[Verse 2]
They say I'm too young to love you
You say I'm too dumb to see
They judge me like a picture book
By the colors, like they forgot to read
I think we're like fire and water
I think we're like the wind and sea
You're burning up, I'm cooling down
You're up, I'm down
You're blind, I see
But I'm free
I'm free
[Chorus]
[Bridge]

Record executive I
Need you to live, I
Someone come replace you
Should I happen to meet you
Downtown, or see you
I would fall down dead
I’m bereaved by you
Bereaved by you
In blue denim I meet you
Barefoot I need you
Diamond horseshoe sparklin’
You’re my king Jewish maven
Kids on vacation
Florida Keys are calling
Come back to me
Come back to me
Is the sun in your eyes, easy rider?
Do the flame colored skies light your fire?
We are heavy metal lions
They will never understand
The kind of people you or I am.
Bow your heads and take your hands.
They were angels forever
Forever angels
They were angels forever
Forever angels
Does the ocean inspire, easy rider?
Do the stars and the wind take you higher?
You are California proud
You are angels of the night.
Rock and Roll guardians now
The last keepers of the light
They were angels forever
Forever angels
They were angels forever
Forever angels
Paradise is a hot colored flame sky
Is it nice to feel free in love?
Paradise is a game, you have to wonder
I just ride.
They were angels forever
Forever angels
They were angels forever
Forever angels
Do the flame colored skies light your fire?
We are heavy metal lions
They will never understand
The kind of people you or I am.
Bow your heads and take your hands.
They were angels forever
Forever angels
They were angels forever
Forever angels
Does the ocean inspire, easy rider?
Do the stars and the wind take you higher?
You are California proud
You are angels of the night.
Rock and Roll guardians now
The last keepers of the light
They were angels forever
Forever angels
They were angels forever
Forever angels
Paradise is a hot colored flame sky
Is it nice to feel free in love?
Paradise is a game, you have to wonder
I just ride.
They were angels forever
Forever angels
They were angels forever
Forever angels
You have this way of making me
Say the opposite of everything I mean
I kiss you, I hug you
But I could not feel less connected from you
I know I want it all this in the beginning, I really tried
I know I caught you at a not-so-happy time of your life
My dreams are bigger than your junkie pride
I don't quite fit the part of
She who loses everything and falls into insanity
The sunbeams mean nothing
If you can't find the light shining in one thing
I know I want it all this in the beginning, I really tried
I know I caught you at a not-so-happy time of your life
My dreams are bigger than your junkie pride
It's fine if you're hateful
As long as all in all you remain grateful
It made me nervous to know you didn't like me, I really tried
The way I'm feeling in this moment, it can't last my whole life
My dreams are bigger than your junkie pride
You have a right
To live your life
Like no one else does
Like no one else might
If you have visions
Come on and live them out
All you need
Is some peace
While you are here
Just let go
Till you are home, dear
I had a dream
When I was young
I dreamt our lives were
Going to be found
When we were always
Waiting to live
All you need
Is some peace
While you are here
Just let go
I'll be it all, dear
You have the choice
To hear the noise
Or hear the sweet sound
Of your sweet voice
I know I've heard it
I heard it in my sleep
All you need
Is some peace
While you are here
Just let go
Don't say no, dear
Wake up each night
At the same time
Pull up the blind
And look outside
And in the orange light
The fog is rising
This is life
The still night
Peace in the quiet
Happiness
Is the sky
To live your life
Like no one else does
Like no one else might
If you have visions
Come on and live them out
All you need
Is some peace
While you are here
Just let go
Till you are home, dear
I had a dream
When I was young
I dreamt our lives were
Going to be found
When we were always
Waiting to live
All you need
Is some peace
While you are here
Just let go
I'll be it all, dear
You have the choice
To hear the noise
Or hear the sweet sound
Of your sweet voice
I know I've heard it
I heard it in my sleep
All you need
Is some peace
While you are here
Just let go
Don't say no, dear
Wake up each night
At the same time
Pull up the blind
And look outside
And in the orange light
The fog is rising
This is life
The still night
Peace in the quiet
Happiness
Is the sky
Can't put my finger on it
But I know I want it
I'm willing to try another way
That is, if I get by another day
Back and forth, I don't get anywhere
And I've been searching everywhere
And I'll try tonight
Just try tonight
Happy as the moon shine
Sifting in the night time
Cliches find a home inside of him
When he enters all of the lights go dim
He's so sure he's got a tragic lifestyle
And I'm so sure I can make that man smile
And I'll try tonight
Just try tonight
A dark room in the night time
Is how he spends all his time
If he could go on without your help
Then he would do it all by himself
But I don't think he got strength to muster
And he don't got a lot lack of lustre
He'll try tonight
Tonight get higher
He'll try tonight
Tonight I'll get high
But he will, he will, he will, yes, he will
But I know I want it
I'm willing to try another way
That is, if I get by another day
Back and forth, I don't get anywhere
And I've been searching everywhere
And I'll try tonight
Just try tonight
Happy as the moon shine
Sifting in the night time
Cliches find a home inside of him
When he enters all of the lights go dim
He's so sure he's got a tragic lifestyle
And I'm so sure I can make that man smile
And I'll try tonight
Just try tonight
A dark room in the night time
Is how he spends all his time
If he could go on without your help
Then he would do it all by himself
But I don't think he got strength to muster
And he don't got a lot lack of lustre
He'll try tonight
Tonight get higher
He'll try tonight
Tonight I'll get high
But he will, he will, he will, yes, he will
