I saw Karen O live
in a basement in Brooklyn
had a dream that night
that you came back to me
my father called three times
I stayed up all night
walked across the bridge
Saw the city come down
Watched you fade into it
i saw a fine young man
in a two thousand dollar suit
Do his best Bob Dylan
For a crowded room
I saw Karen O live
in a basement in Brooklyn
had a dream that night
How it should’ve been
my father called three times
but my mailbox is full of his messages
though i doubt he knows it
And i don’t want to leave manhattan
So I climb the stairs
To get to your apartment
