Lyrics
I look around and wonder
And can't believe what's changed
The cityscape, the people
Are simply rearranged
The view is different, too
What's a brownstone gonna do?
Buildings 40 stories high
Blocking out the sun and sky
Am I the last one standing?
A brownstone dinosaur
My buddies are all demolished
My end is premature
I've been around a long time
Since 1928
But now, I'm in my primetime
My bricks are still first-rate
Bein' good's not always better
Of this there is no doubt
Climb up to my tar pitch roof
And watch the stars come out
If I'm the last one standing
A brownstone dinosaur
Watch over my four stories high
This is the home you knew
I am the last one standing
And I will shelter you
Bein' good's not always better
Of this there is no doubt
You gotta climb up to my tar pitch roof
And watch the stars come out
If I'm the last one standing
A brownstone dinosaur
Watch over my four stories high
This is the home you knew
I am the last one standing
And I will shelter you
I like my eggs loose baby!
