I look in my crystal ball

And see nothing

I quietly wish I had it all

Or at least something While the short waves

Sends chaos around us

I don't hear a thing

It's all so quiet in Brooklyn If I had a fresh start

I'd probably fail

So I drink my coffee

And open the mail Now I hope the cruel words

In your letter

Are baptised by my tears

I would try to make it all better

But it would take years Cause while I've been feeding your ego

Mine's been wearing thin

It's all so quiet in Brooklyn I'd get lost anywhere

As long as I'm found

I could be anyone in any town Why is there no one to help me

Find my way through

Cause if there was someone to help me

Maybe I could help you Seems everyone's already started

While I don't know where to begin It's all so quiet

It's all so quiet

It's all so quiet in Brooklyn
