Lyrics
I found myself at a bar turned church
Looking for some guarantee
The reverend here is like Tom Waits
He’s sippin’ on cheap whiskey
The band spills it’s healing
Hands dance over 88 keys
As I sit here on my bar stool perch
And wrestle to set myself free
On a velvet night in Brooklyn
I am sad but new
As I move toward myself
and away from you
With a cold Tecate in hand
And my heart in my throat
I try to ignore them high on gospel and booze
Every last John Doe
They flirt with me like I’m the flower, they’re the bee
But I’m trying to watch this show
As the Rev sings,
“Might be the first time, my children, or the last time, I don’t know.”
On a velvet night in Brooklyn
I am sad but new
As I move toward myself
And away from you
Out the bar and into the night
I’m going home alone
Don’t wanna spoil my solitude
with a man in cheap cologne
I’ll go to sleep missing you
But happy for the room
Now that nights in New York City
Mean being on my own
On a velvet night in Brooklyn
I am sad but new
As I move toward myself
And away from you
Towards myself, towards myself, towards myself and away from you
Towards myself, towards myself and away from you
