lyrics

If I could fingerpaint where life has gone
I'd hand into my teacher somethin' someone else had drawn
And when I wake up
Don't wanna wake up to the sound of children at my feet

Oh, Lafayette, wherefore your boredom grows
Oh, Lafayetee, like you I slowly decompose

And when I wake up
I wanna wake up to the sound of a rhythm in the street

That's why I'm gonna
Say "bye, bye" to Brooklyn
Take the last seat on the train
And I'm never gonna come this way again

If I could figure out where my time has gone
Perhaps I'd see my happiness was with me all along
And then I'd wake up, yeah
I'd wake up to the sound of a rhythm in the street

That's why I'm gonna
Say "bye, bye" to Brooklyn
Take the last seat on the train
And I'm never gonna come this way again
