Pete Townshend - Brooklyn Kids lyrics

Girl lays on a white sheet

She's deep in a trance,

While her friends go out and dance

She's all alone don't ask me why

This kid from Brooklyn cries

Boy struts on a main street

He's dressed for effect

But his eye's reveal he's really wrecked

He's all alone don't ask me why

This kid from Brooklyn cries

And their both just a mile apart

Just streets away from a kindred heart

But there might as well

Be an ocean between them

There might as well

Be an ocean between them

You and me just can't relate

We got love given on a plate

Is it luck or is it fate

Were not alone

Same girl in the sunshine

Such a perfect shape

But he can't talk, he just has to gape

She walks alone don't ask me why

This kid from Brooklyn cries

Same boy doing cell time

Head in his hands

Pickup didn't go quiet as he planned

He feels alone don't ask me why

This kid from Brooklyn cries

And their both just a mile apart

Just streets away from a kindred heart

But there might as well

Be an ocean between them

Yes there might as well

Be an ocean between them
