the front door of the Nahurriyeh family apartment, Brooklyn, NY, ca. 2011
1. Hello Brooklyn 2.0 by Jay-Z featuring Lil' Wayne
Like a mama you birth me, Brooklyn you nursed me
Schooled me with hard knocks, better than Berkeley
Hello Brooklyn, you bad influence, look what you had me doin'
But I ain't mad at you, look at my attitude
2. Only New York Going On, by Francis Dunnery
But there's only New York going on
Louder than usual
So I look outside to see where I belong
But there's only New York going on
Feels like the Amazon
Waiting for that phone call from anyone
3. New York, I Love You (But You're Bringing Me Down), by LCD Soundsystem
New York, I love you, but you're bringing me down
Like a death of the heart
Jesus, where do I start?
But you're still the one pool where I'd happily drown
4. Leaving New York, by R.E.M.
I looked ahead
I'm sure I saw you there
You don't need me
To tell you now
That nothing can compare
5. Southern California Wants to Be Western New York, by Dar Williams
And it's embarrassed
but it's lusting after a SUNY student with mousy brown hair
who is taking out the compost
making coffee in long underwear
Sometimes the stakes are bogus, sometimes the fast lane hits a fork,
Sometimes southern California wants to be western New York.
The sign on the inside of the Nahurriyeh apartment door, reading: DANGER: Outside World Beyond This Door!
