Nellie McKay - Manhattan Avenue lyrics
[Nellie McKay - Manhattan Avenue lyrics]
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
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
