Only the dead know Brooklyn
Only the dead survive
Only the dead know Brooklyn
Ah baby please stop crying
Only the dead know Brooklyn
Keep on your raincoat, kid
She'll hit you hard when you ain't looking
But it's nothing that you did
From Brooklyn to Tibet
Only the dead know where it's at
From Hong Kong to LA
It's just your life gets in the way
No matter where you've been
Weez got advice for you my friend:
Give up the ghost
Only the dead know Brooklyn
At least, that's what I heard
Under the highway, hookers
Gravesend to Williamsburgh
There was a Park Slope yuppie
Hangin' out Red Hook
For a slice of life he was hungry
They sliced him up real good
