Cat Power - Manhattan lyrics

rate me

(feat Angel Haze)

Howling at me, howling at you

Howling at me, howling at you

Hey, Angel!

Go and knock on the floor top then I shake you till your chord drops

And try to wrap my hands around the way that you throw yours up

Hmmm it sure sucks and you bleed me once I'm tore up

And I open up, so I open up and you scream until that door shuts.

Breathe tight till my chest aches

And my heart burst and my head spins

And I pick out all the trains of thought that make establish my x-ray!

Huh, worst best case and I wanna run till my leg shake

But you know all the things to do, to get you back to your bed space

And so, I tried to think around you

But that's hard to do when everything I'm planning's around you

Manhattan, you are my favorite place to die

Right between the heart of all the good and bad you lie!

The hotel room and the street below

You would come and people go

All the friends that we used to know,

Ain't coming back!

Ain't coming back!

Ain't coming back!

You say your heart has a rhythm

We'll see your secret on

You say you have nothing to hide

You and secret life!

Chorus:

You'll never be, never be, never be

You'll never be, never be, never be

You'll never be, never be, never be

Manhattan!

You could never be, never be, never be

Manhattan!

Your want your badge and your suitcase on

No suit and your hair's not right

Cause nobody knows this woman by your side

It's not who you know, it's a useful woman by your side

It's not who you know, it's a useful woman by your side

Chorus: (x2)

You'll never be, never be, never be

You'll never be, never be, never be

You'll never be, never be, never be

Manhattan!

You could never be, never be, never be

Manhattan!

Howling at me, howling at you (x3)
