 It's gonna be too hot to breathe today

 Somebody's opened up the fire hydrant

 Cold water rushing out in sheets

 Stick to the shadows when I can

Lovecraft in Brooklyn

Verse:
A Bm
 When the sun goes down the armies of the voiceless
A Bm
 Several hundred-thousand strong
A G
 Come out without their bandages
A Bm
 Their voices raised in song

 When the street lights sputter out
A Bm
 They make this awful sizzling sound

 I cast my gaze towards the pavement
A Bm
 Too many blood stains on the ground

 Rhode Island drops into the ocean

 No place to call home anymore

Verse:
A Bm
  Woke up afraid of my own shadow
A Bm
  Like, genuinely afraid
A G
  Headed for the pawnshop
A Bm
  To buy myself a switchblade

A Bm
  Someday something's coming
A Bm
  From way out beyond the stars
A G
  To kill us while we stand here
A Bm
  It'll store our brains in mason jars

Chorus:
D               A
 And then the girl behind the counter
G
 She asks me how I feel today

I feel like Lovecraft in Brooklyn

Yeah!
