i am dreaming of a loft
on kent ave
i didn't take it

you see because it had this multi-tiered
effect we'd have had to climb
on top of the desk and
up a ladder to bed
i lit up when I thought about
how you'd scold me

but your father didn't like brookyln
and it was so far from sixth avenue
and i knew i'd get drunk
and break my goddamn neck

and so i didn't take it
but i dream of that loft
on kent ave
