Brill Building

I have been writing all my life I didn't start yesterday Don't talk back, and I might stay But you say, well good luck But if you don't stay, well you ain't going far And you'll step in the night, frigid cold in the dark And I've been staying up all night at Half past two, well tell me who could write We're up on the brill building tonight We're up on the brill building tonight Tonight, tonight And did you think it up We run around the same ideas Ain't that fun Though I've had a few words hidden up my sleeve But they couldn't sing, and they wanna come back When I told them they got upset As I was walking home, I stepped on a cigarette And later I was dreaming 'bout a meeting on the floor I couldn't understand it at all And I've been staying up all night at Half past two well tell me who could write We're up on the brill building tonight We're up on the brill building tonight Tonight, tonight, oh Tonight, tonight, oh
