Take Manhattan |
| Well she started out working for an Illinois assembly line |
| Not really what she wanted |
| Just dealing with the feeling when you’re feeling like you wish it was fine |
| You just don’t talk about it |
| And along came an offer from the city of steel |
| They were stranded at the airport she could barely believe he was real |
| So she said |
| Make it happen take me to Manhattan |
| If you like LA that’s cool |
| Or you could slip me right on down the Mississippi |
| I’d go anywhere with you |
| Well, they met up on the river in the middle of the summertime |
| He was from out on the coast |
| And ever since he said he’d never stop until they got it right |
| It’s what they wanted the most |
| He had been everywhere and she’d been alone |
| They were just looking for a place to call home |
| So he said |
| How about Manhattan we can make it happen |
| I’ll do California too |
| I know it’s iffy but how about the Mississippi |
| I’d go anywhere with you |
| Any old town will do |
| I could die in the flyover zone with you |
| Then they started their first argument |
| And the fighting never stopped |
| It’s just the same old story |
| All the boys and girls who never figure one another out |
| Then all the tears started pouring |
| Then the map came off the wall |
| She started marking it with a red pen |
| Then she said |
| Well, take Manhattan where anything can happen |
| You take California too |
| Forever after with or without laughter |
| We got better things to do |
| Take Manhattan where anything can happen |
| You take California too |
| Take the planet you can fucking have it |
| Look out cause she’s coming for you |
