"Wedding In Brooklyn" lyrics

"Oh, lucky you since I'm here now," says Detroit
As he comes tumbling up on stage like an asteroid
Standing next to Skye, he's like an eclipse
In his deconstructed wedding dress

The crowd cheers
For the couple, some are peers
Some are their lovers, they chug beers
Kisses are thrown
As the officiant
Who might not be an officiant
Begins the demolition
Of marriage as it's known
She says

"We're gathered here in this bar tonight
To watch these two make a huge mistake
If anybody objects to this
Speak now or shut your face"

I know that it's a performance, but poor Skye
Feels like they're not starring in the movie of their life
Silent as a cat that's gone to hide
They stand there and politely smile

It slowly
Dawns on me that Skye really
Wants this to be something real
And not an art school joke
"You are so lonely"
I think of Skye, but only
To realize that we both
Carry the same load

"We are gathered here in this bar tonight
To watch these two make a huge mistake
If anybody objects to this
Speak now or shut your face"

So I raise my hand, and everyone in the crowd looks at me, annoyed
But Skye, I want you to find the strength
To stand up against Detroit
