Back to BK Lyrics

Long time cutting my teeth

Beneath ghost-town crowds in the bowels of Shitty City

Took a long time letting it bleed

I sang a song for the numb

Till the cynic proved himself to be me

I started out on burgundy, I— I— I— I— I

I started out on burgundy, I— I— I— I

I'm goin' back

I'm goin' back

Back to Brooklyn

I'm goin' back

Back to Brooklyn

Long time chasing the dream

I made a few shrewd moves, ended up inside the pages of

Vogue Italia magazine

I turned 22 in Paris, in the sun, a million miles from the scene

I started out on burgundy, I— I— I— I— I

I started out on burgundy, I— I— I— I

I'm goin' back

I'm goin' back

Back to Brooklyn

I'm goin' back

Back to Brooklyn

Take a little break from the rat race, maybe you need

To get clean on the beach

You've come a long way from Melrose Street
