Brownstone Alley

Praise the ground for keeping me so still
We can only wait until
The sky is bluer than your eyes

Chase the seams as they come undone
You were never meant to run
From anyone

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

You can put the sun away
I don't need it for today
Take me back to brick and brownstone alley
I can do without the scar
Uptown will make me a star
I'm not going back to Cali, Cali

Raise your hands above the salty sea
Wonder what's in it for me
And how you brought me to my knees

Cross your fingers as you promise to
Bring me something old that's new
I hope that I'll never lose

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

You can put the sun away
I don't need it for today
Take me back to brick and brownstone alley
I can do without the scar
Uptown will make me a star
I'm not going back to Cali, Cali

You can put the sun away
I don't need it for today
Take me back to brick and brownstone alley
I can do without the scar
Uptown will make me a star
I'm not going back to Cali, Cali
I'm not going back to Cali, Cali
I'm not going back to Cali, Cali
I'm not going back to Cali, Cali
I'm not going back to Cali, Cali
