I met a girl
Walkin’ down that street
I said please come close
Please stand next to me
She lookin’ good
Talkin’ oh so sweet
The walls came down
Pavement shook beneath
Standing on the streets of Brooklyn
Standing on the streets below
Standing on the streets of Brooklyn
Standing on the streets alone
Smoked that cigarette
I could feel the heat
Fires burnt down
Sirens in the street
(and she said)
I’m a jagged bolt of lightning
I’m a risin’ hurricane
Release the thunder, the lightning
Release the rain
Standing on the streets of Brooklyn
Standing on the streets below
Standing on the streets of Brooklyn
Standing on the streets alone
(I was)
Remembering the streets of Brooklyn
Sleepin’ in the fires below
Burnin’ in the streets of Brooklyn
Standing in them streets alone
