[Verse]
A Bm It's gonna be too hot to breathe today A Bm But everybody is out here on the streets A G Somebody's opened up the fire hydrant A Bm Cold water rushing out in sheets A Bm Some kid in a Marcus Allen jersey A Bm Asks me for a cigarette A G Companionship is where you find it A Bm So I take what I can get
[Chorus]
A D A Hubcaps on the car like fun house mirrors G Stick to the shadows when I can Bm A Bm Lovecraft in Brooklyn
[Verse]
A Bm When the sun goes down the armies of the voiceless A Bm Several hundred-thousand strong A G Come out without their bandages A Bm Their voices raised in song A Bm When the street lights sputter out A Bm They make this awful sizzling sound A G I cast my gaze towards the pavement A Bm Too many blood stains on the ground
[Chorus]
A D A Rhode Island drops into the ocean G No place to call home anymore Bm A Bm Lovecraft in Brooklyn
[Bridge]
F#m D D A Head outside most everyday to try to keep the wolves away F#m D Imagine nice things I might say Asus4 F#m If company should come
Bm A Bm A Bm A Bm
[Verse]
A Bm Woke up afraid of my own shadow A Bm Like, genuinely afraid A G Headed for the pawnshop A Bm To buy myself a switchblade A Bm Someday something's coming A Bm From way out beyond the stars A G To kill us while we stand here A Bm It'll store our brains in mason jars
[Chorus]
D A And then the girl behind the counter G She asks me how I feel today Bm A Bm I feel like Lovecraft in Brooklyn
Yeah!
