Jeff Waters
Manhattan Blues
I have gone to New York CityI don't know when I'll be backIs someone here in New York City?I'll plant my feet and wipe away my tracksStrike up the band, cue the player pianoWatch it play without a handSee, I'm the jack of all tradesBut I'm just a one trick pony in this blue moon masqueradeAnd if there's someone here in this god forsaken townWon't you hit the ground running with me?Sometimes the sun will rise on youSometimes the sun goes down on meSometimes the sun goes down on meSo I have gone to New York CityI don't know when I'll be backThere's someone here in New York CityWe'll plant our feet and wipe away our tracksYou're the slap on my wrist and the lethal injectionI'm the guillotine and I've got stories all aroundLook you Cinderellas, life's a little harderThat crazy midnight sound has got you hanging upside downBut silent clocks refuse to let me know that time's dramaticIt's putting on a show and I am forced to sitLetras de cancionesAnd watch it dance around meSo as you sit here biding time, the writing's on the wall for meI know that time runs out on meI have gone to New York CityI don't know when I'll be backThere's no one left in New York CityBut I've burned my bridges, there's no going back(Instrumental Break)I wrote a love song on this dollar billAnd I put it in the basket when it came down my wayThere's the Holy Ghost the strangerThere's the Holy Ghost familiarI just want you to tell me who is who with your glory swayBut I'm worried, terrified, I'm shaking in my skinI won't be going out in styleWhile the sun will shine on youI know the sun goes down on meI know the sun goes down on meI know the sun goes down on me
