“Bombs Over Brooklyn” is about people preparing for a nuke, and talking about the implications of it.
In a more metaphorical sense, it’s about futility in preparing for something that can’t be avoided or prepared for.
[Verse 1]
We can make our heart move in another place
We can touch the ground up in outer space
We can find the sun in another way
We can hold each other for another day
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, the way, the sound
The silence is from the mushroom cloud, away from everything
Time to face ourselves
In preparation for the shells to keep us safe from everything
Ten, nine
Eight, seven
Six, five, four
Three, two, one
[Chorus]
'Cause when the bomb arrives
There'll be nowhere left to hide
Yeah, when the bomb arrives
There'll be nowhere left to hide
Yeah, when the bomb arrives
There'll be no one left behind
No, no, no one left behind
[Verse 2]
We should pack our things, hope to get away
We could make our move at the break of day
We should disconnect, no more time to waste
We could ride it out in a distant place
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, the way, the sound
The silence is from the mushroom cloud, away from everything
Time to face ourselves
In preparation for the shells to keep us safe from everything
Ten, nine
Eight, seven
Six, five, four
Three, two, one
[Chorus]
'Cause when the bomb arrives
There'll be nowhere left to hide
Yeah, when the bomb arrives
There'll be nowhere left to hide
Yeah, when the bomb arrives
There'll be no one left behind
No, no one, no one left behind
[Outro]
We can watch the fire rising up like morning light
We can watch the beam shoot across the evening sky
We can watch the fire rising up like morning light
(Ten, nine)
(Eight, seven)
We can watch the beam shoot across the evening sky
(Six, five, four)
(Three, two, one)
