Lyrics
[Verse 1] It's gonna be too hot to breathe today But everybody is out here on the streets Somebody's opened up a fire hydrant Cold water rushing out in sheets Some kid in a Marcus Allen jersey Asks me for a cigarette Companionship is where you find it So I take what I can get [Chorus 1] Hubcaps on the cars like fun house mirrors Stick to the shadows when I can Lovecraft in Brooklyn [Verse 2] When the sun goes down, the armies of the voiceless Several hundred-thousand strong Come out without their bandages Their voices raised in song And when the street lights sputter out They make this awful sizzling sound I cast my gaze toward the pavement Too many blood stains on the ground [Chorus 2] Rhode Island drops into the ocean No place to call home anymore Lovecraft in Brooklyn [Bridge] Head outside most everyday To try to keep the wolves away Imagine nice things I might say If company should come [Verse 3] Woke up afraid of my own shadow Like, genuinely afraid Headed for the pawnshop To buy myself a switchblade Someday something's coming From way out beyond the stars To kill us while we stand here It'll store our brains in Mason jars [Chorus 3] And then the girl behind the counter She asks me how I feel today I feel like Lovecraft in Brooklyn [Outro] Yeah
