artists all around me
anyone need a muse?
its my first week here in bushwick
and i wanna make the news
i’m young, depressed, and pretty
in six-inch platform shoes
im new to drugs and rock and roll
but so far rave reviews

can you hit me with something strong, barkeep?
i wanna see a bruise

he said my days are numbered here
and he’s right
but who’s counting?
i won’t live my life in fear
so tonight
there’s no pouting
if you’re searching for trouble
you can stop lookin
hey there cutie
i’m new to brooklyn

i missed being a fuckup
i never got the chance
my senior prom i took a friend
and didn’t even dance
so now’s the time for catchup
and halfhearted romance
i want to break a lovely thing
and babe i caught your glance

can you hit me with something strong, barkeep?
i wanna see a bruise

he said my days are numbered here
and he’s right
but who’s counting?
i won’t live my life in fear
so tonight
there’s no pouting
if you’re searching for trouble
you can stop lookin
hey there cutie
i’m new to brooklyn

nobody here knows im boring yet
do you think i can put on a show?
i’ve never been angry once in my life
so i’d like to give it a go

if i shotgun beer and shake out my hair
will anyone ever know?

he said my days are numbered here
and he’s right
but who’s counting?
i won’t live my life in fear
so tonight
there’s no pouting
if you’re searching for trouble
you can stop lookin
hey there cutie
i’m new to brooklyn
