Let me tell a story about the queen of brooklyn
I lost her to bodega lights and sounds
But in her heart, she's broken
Oh, oh, oh
Cross the boulevard, she's a hallelujah
Cursing at the sky of patron saints
But in her heart, she's taken
By the wind and where she went with her gypsy soul
Firing away like a cannonball again
Baby you're a wild one, I can feel it now
An angel with a shotgun, shoot me down
Rebel, you're the sun and they're burning away
Rebel, you're the sun and they're burning away
Rebel, you're the sun and they're burning away, hey
I used to be in love with the queen of brooklyn
Wrapped me in her velvet ecstasy
But the city could never keep her
And she left me like the wind with the gypsy soul
Firing away like a cannonball again
Baby you're a wild one, I can feel it now
An angel with a shotgun, shoot me down
Rebel, you're the sun and they're burning away
Rebel, you're the sun and they're burning away
Rebel, you're the sun and they're burning away, hey
Lost in a dream of silver liberty
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Your soul and the street
It's all you'll ever need
Baby you're a wild one, I can feel it now
An angel with a shotgun, shoot me down
Rebel, you're the sun and they're burning away
Rebel, you're the sun and they're burning away
Rebel, you're the sun and they're burning away, hey
Baby you're a wild one, I can feel it now
An angel with a shotgun, shoot me down
Rebel, you're the sun and they're burning away
Rebel, you're the sun and they're burning away
Rebel, you're the sun and they're burning away, hey
Rebel, you're the sun and they're burning away
Rebel, you're the sun and they're burning away
Rebel, you're the sun and they're burning away
