[Verse 1]
If I close my eyes, I can almost hear my mother
Callin', "Neil, go find your brother
Daddy's home and it's time for supper, hurry on"
And I see two boys racin' up two flights of staircase
Squirmin' into Papa's embrace
And his whiskers warm on their face, where's it gone?
Oh, where's it gone?
[Chorus 1]
Two floors above the butcher
First door on the right
And life filled to the brim as I stood by my window
And looked out on those Brooklyn roads
[Verse 2]
I can still recall the smells of cookin' in the hallways
Rubbers drying in the doorways
And report cards I was always afraid to show
Mama'd come to school and as I sit there softly crying
Teacher'd say, "He's just not trying
Got a good head if he'd apply it, but you know yourself
It's always somewhere else"
[Chorus 2]
I built me a castle with dragons and kings
And I'd ride off with them
As I stood by my window
And looked out on those Brooklyn roads
If I close my eyes, I can almost hear my mother
Callin', "Neil, go find your brother
Daddy's home and it's time for supper, hurry on"
And I see two boys racin' up two flights of staircase
Squirmin' into Papa's embrace
And his whiskers warm on their face, where's it gone?
Oh, where's it gone?
[Chorus 1]
Two floors above the butcher
First door on the right
And life filled to the brim as I stood by my window
And looked out on those Brooklyn roads
[Verse 2]
I can still recall the smells of cookin' in the hallways
Rubbers drying in the doorways
And report cards I was always afraid to show
Mama'd come to school and as I sit there softly crying
Teacher'd say, "He's just not trying
Got a good head if he'd apply it, but you know yourself
It's always somewhere else"
[Chorus 2]
I built me a castle with dragons and kings
And I'd ride off with them
As I stood by my window
And looked out on those Brooklyn roads
