LYRICS:
Brighton Beach 2032 Blues
Went
along to Times Square in the morning light
Travelled to the evening when I started a fight
Ran away and sang until the night got bright
Went
along to Times Square in the morning light
Snowing
in Manhattan so I went to a store
I looked for my vibrators in nineteen sixty four
All around were people and all they did was stare
`Cos my costume was too weird and they couldn`t see my hair
Twenty
thirty two I went to Brighton Beach
No more Russians there just some folks out of reach
I looked around and saw the grey sea turned to stone
The Coney Island funfair a Millenium Dome
All
those pierogi where can they be?
Eaten up by yuppies in two thousand and three
People on the boardwalk still dressed up in furs
Moved down from Fifth Avenue looking for the worse
All my dreams and fantasies I gave them all to you
Now theyŐre stranded on the boardwalk in nineteen forty two
I went home to Bavaria to catch the morning post
Nothing from Manhattan and nothing from the coast
Went along to Times Square in the morning light
Travelled to the evening when I started a fight
Ran away and sang until the night got bright
