Hey
Been a long time since I've seen your face
I was just about to ask
"How've you been?"
But before I could,
You jumped in with a
"Where are you living these days?"
I said "I'm one block away from the J,
a couple stops past the Williamsburg Bridge from Manhattan" and you said:
"don't you find it odd that we all move to Brooklyn in the end?"
Hey, this Big Apple's been had by worms
It doesn't look all that tasty now
So I guess you could say that this was my choice and I'll have you know
It's not cause the rents were high
They're actually higher here
I pay for the distance from the advertising
And you said:
"Do you think that when we die,
Our souls move to Brooklyn
That our souls fly to Brooklyn
That we all move to Brooklyn
When we die?"
Plus I heard your mom, she too moved to Brooklyn, and the word on the street is Wall Street's moving to Brooklyn, too
Why?
Because we all move to Brooklyn
