Trapped by my body's design I can't redefine the line
between where I end and where you begin
will the city ever let me in
You could farm this land but I can't meet my own demands
between where I end and where you begin
will the city ever let me in
Don't make me move to Brooklyn
All of my friends are moving to Brooklyn
don't make me go
Expecting with luck to find balance where
my arms bound in concrete and snow
I won't it's your home
All of my friends...

I can't take it anymore feeling bored f*cked up and weird
Peeling layers from my skin whose in who wants to trade?
Line all the boys in a row by height
Challenge each one to tests of wit and might
Then maybe I'll be able to choose
Strip me bare without delay you don't pay you just watch me dance
Wait and see I'm gonna live forever if I get the chance
Line all the boys in a row by height
Challenge each one to tests of wit and might
Then maybe I'll be able to choose
Ya ya ya ya...
I'm a girl but I'm not proud cut my hair and I talk too loud
Oh, elusive femininity lay me down on your hallowed ground

Friend

I tried to kiss you on the couch
sleepy lips moved heavy mouth and gave goodnight a try
goodnight but not goodbye
Showing off in case you look my way
though you seldom do
Old new york has a way
of reminding you
though I swore I'd never move to Brooklyn
My hypothetical next of kin
I'm sorry for the burden I'll surely leave behind
Strange indeed to be falling in love with a friend
You'd forgotten how your stomach folds and bends
and you're sixteen again
The girl with half a heart is twice as strong as anyone
She'll be in text books for her part in miracles done
this time by her own design
Well, I was born blue in the face but with heart in tact
So I won't cry of broken heart by point of fact
Oh, but when I think of you I'm still having trouble breathing.
My hypothetical next of kin
I'm sorry for the burden I'll surely leave behind
Strange indeed to be falling in love with a friend
You'd forgotten how your stomach folds and bends
and you're sixteen again
Did I know you much at all? Either way I wish you'd call just to say hello boy the getting on is slow
Did you find a boat and crew to take you on?
Will Northeastern leaves call you when summer's done?
Gee, I swore you said you'd move to Brooklyn

I don't wanna waste my time
looking for work in a city that's not mine
But most of my closest friends are starting a life for themselves
where the Jersey state line ends
The west is calling me and what kind of friend would I be
if I didn't answer?
All the kids from California are moving to Manhattan
They're shacking up in Brooklyn
Though it's sunny where they are
and just to set the balance straight I think I'll move west
buy some land and invest
take it nice and slow
Phil-a-delphi-i-a
I wish that I could stay
but the winter's too cold for me
the winter's too cold for me
