Album: A Fine Mess (2009)

Manhattan From The Sky

Baby,
Whatcha doing today, what are you doing later?
I don't know my way through a maze of gray skyscrapers
But I'm willing to learn

If you want me to I'll stay just where I am
But I promise just to follow when I land
And you can take my word for that

You are my Manhattan from the sky
You look so neat and tidy when I'm way up high,
But I know your streets are lined with a fine mess inside
And I wanna come down and walk around your mind.

Daises,
Once upon an old daydream, that's what you gave me
Out on the corner of Broadway and 48th street, On a rainy afternoon
Well I could start discovering your world
And I would make a damn good city girl
Things would start to bloom, I'm sure

You are my Manhattan from the sky
You look so neat and tidy when I'm way up high,
But I know your streets are lined with a fine mess inside
And I wanna come down and walk around your mind.

I know you want me to see don't lie to me
Why you gotta go be so shy to me?
I ain't buying the false anxiety, let your fortress fall
What is it gonna take to get you there?
If fear was money you'd be a millionaire
Or all alone in a leather swivel chair counting stacks of gold
Oh oh

You are my Manhattan from the sky
You look so neat and tidy when I'm way up high,
But I know your streets are lined with a fine mess inside
And I wanna come down and walk around ohhh

You are my Manhattan from the sky
You look so neat and tidy when I'm way up high,
But I know your streets are lined with a fine mess inside
And I wanna come down and walk around your mind.
Oh ohh ohh oh
