Manhattan

Cat Power · Sun [2012]

The hotel room and the street below

People come and people go

All the friends that we used to know

Ain't coming back

Ain't coming back

Ain't coming back



See your heart has a rhythm

Well I see, got your secret on

You say you have nothing to hide

You and your secret life



Don't look at the moon tonight

You'll never be, never be, never be Manhattan

Don't look at the moon tonight

You can never be, never be, never be, never be Manhattan



Little one with your badge and your suitcase on

No suit and your hair's not right

Cause nobody knows who's this woman by your side



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

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

Manhattan.



See your heart has a rhythm

Well I see, you got your secret on

You say you have nothing to hide

You and your secret life



Don't look at the moon tonight

You'll never be, never be, never be Manhattan

Don't look at the moon tonight

You can never be, never be, never be, never be Manhattan



See your heart has a rhythm

You got your secret on

And you say you got nothing to hide

You, you, you and your secret life



You'll never be, never be, never be Manhattan

Howlin' at me, howlin' at you

Howlin' at me, howlin' at you



Liberty in the basement light

Free speech, lipstick and the moonlight

Howling to get me, howlin' to get you

In Harlem, in a dark back room

Dancing to a different tune

Howling at me, howling at you
