Brooklyn Lullabye by Glen Burtnik Lyrics

Late one night on Avenue D
Cinderella first faced the street philosophy

Who up there is tough as nails
Got the spirit in their eyes
And the wind in their sails?

Late at night when she's up in her bed
She listens to the music way up in her head

She's got the city (she's got the city)
She's a Brooklyn Lullabye
She's got you covered (she's got you covered)
You're in the corner of her eye
She likes the music (she likes the music)
And it makes her want to cry
Turn it on (turn it on, now)
She's a Brooklyn Lullabye

Weekend at last, bus into the city
Dressed up for Saturday and feeling so pretty
She understands she's the real thing
She says "stand for something and you'll fall for anything"
That's what she said

Well late at night when she's in her bed
She listens to the music way up in her head
Every night

She's got the city (she's got the city)
She's a Brooklyn Lullabye
She's got you covered (she's got you covered)
You're in the corner of her eye
She likes the music (she likes the music)
And it makes her want to cry
Turn it on (turn it on, now)
She's a Brooklyn Lullabye

The world's asleep but they don't know
There's a heartbeat on the radio

She's got the city
She's a Brooklyn Lullabye
She's got you covered
You're in the corner of her eye
She likes the music
And it makes her want to cry
(She's got the city)
She's a Brooklyn Lullabye
She's got you covered (she's got you covered)
You're in the corner of her eye
She likes the music (she likes the music)
And it makes her want to cry
Turn it on (turn it on, now)
Play that Brooklyn Lullabye

She's got the city (she's got the city)
Yeah
She's got you covered (she's got you covered)
(She likes the music)
(Turn it on, now)
