Nellie McKay - Manhattan Avenue
Music Video
Song Lyrics
send a breeze
a pitbull`s yelp
a tender squeeze
a cry for help
make it now
and make it fast
such memories
can never last
I long for the days
music and mayhem
mama`s a smilin` friend
in the scuzzy hue of the sunlight
Manhattan avenue
Lionel please
watch o`er our door
the children tease
I beg for more
chipping paint
the ceiling`s spent
aw ain`t it great
can`t make the rent
I long for the days
kittens are meowling
junkies are prowling
deep in the jazzy hue of the streetlight
Manhattan avenue
(instrumental break)
how wild it is
what strange a vice
that a mugger and a child should share the same paradise
oh but dreams come true on
Manhattan avenue
