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
