I'm a Brooklyn baby He plays guitar while I sing Lou Reed I've got feathers in my hair They say I'm too young to love you Well, my boyfriend's in the band I get down to Beat poetry And my jazz collection's rare I can play most anything

Cities full of hatred Fear and lies Withered hearts And cruel, tormented eyes Scheming demons Dressed in kingly guise Beating down the multitude And scoffing at the wise When they turn the pages of history

Dance, dance, dance Just wanna dance, dance, dance Where you want me I came the party on my own Don't need nobody in my song I get down to the beat I loose control Boy you can cool it down I'm here to fool around

I'm a beat it up He can lay you down But I'm a beat it up It's 4 in the mornin' She callin' my phone She wanna be grown We gone get it on She said that she lonely Cause hes never around

Yeah when that summer sun starts to beatin' down And you don't know what to do Inflatable pool full of dad's hot air I was three years old Splashin' everywhere And so began my love affair With all my friends

It's a contradiction Can you feel I'm not like you anymore I can't see, I can't breathe See you quiver like the dogs on the streets Looking down on as I beat you It's bad religion, from a broken nation And I can't take it anymore Who's to say I won't

And the fallen will get down on his knees You gonna face the mirror, you gonna seek another day And forever the man in the coat Then along came the mirror and the ripper What do you see in the night? Passing shadows that can scar your soul And make you

Do it, try it A dance on repeat A trance on a hard beat Listen to the sound Back me down

Where once a heart was beating Nothing but embers glow Our love it serves as kindling To stoke this flames inferno I am hell to thee Down here all shall suffer with me Die purified Rise the ashes to the sky

Helter skelter, helter skelter Helter skelter When I get to the bottom I go back to the top of the slide I'm coming down fast but don't let me break you You may be a lover but you ain't no dancer Yes, she is Where I stop and I turn and I go for a ride
