lyrics

There was an interstellar operation
Over Katz’s Delicatessen
I sat at the window, drinking an egg cream
The moon broke open and the ocean dried up
Now I wanna jump the Brooklyn bridge

Let's do it!
Let's go!

A star portal opened
Over the bakery on Delancey
I'm at the window with a bubble tea
And my legs are quaking
I'm terrified

There's talk all over Brooklyn
Cause there's mouths to put the words in
And I heard about it right here

That she's a professional vampire and
he is a full-time host
I'm gonna scream my way out of this ghost town
and a million miles away,
the most famous meth addict of Leipzig
takes refuge in the Syrian take-away shop

I was greeted by a series of visions
Telekinetic incisions
I saw a thousand futures
I lived a million pasts
Now I wanna jump le Tour Eiffel

Let's do it!
Let's go!

I'm standing in the kitchen
There’s a heated conversation
Coming out from the bar next door
It's no surprise

They're talking about the future
They're talking about us
I heard about it right over there

That he's a professional bloodsucker and
she is your Mother Earth
She's gonna send him back to the first dimension
where the sun burns his skin off
and the moon eats his insides
and his eyes are wide open

Now I wanna jump back to the bridge...

Let's do it!
Let's go!
