Woorden: Kate Voegele. A Fine Mess. Manhattan From The Sky.


Baby, whatcha doing today?
What are you doing later?
I don't know my way
Through a maze of gray skyscrapers oh
But I'm willing to learn

If you want me to
I'll stay just where I am
But promise just to follow
Where I land
And you can take my word for that

Cause you are my Manhattan from the sky
You look so neat and tidy when I'm way up high
But I know your streets are lined with a fine mess inside
I wanna come down and walk around you're mind

Daisies, once upon an old daydream
That's what you gave me
Out on the corner of Broadway and 48th street
On a rainy afternoon

I could start discovering your world
I would make a damn good city girl
Things would start to bloom, I'm sure

Cause you are my Manhattan from the sky
You look so neat and tidy when I'm way up high
But I know your streets are lined with a fine mess inside
I wanna come down and walk around you're mind

I know you want me to see
Don't lie to me
So why you gotta go be so shy to me?
I aint buying the false anxiety
Let your fortress fall

What is it gonna take to get you to there
If it was money you'd be a millionaire
Or all alone in a leather swivel chair
Counting stacks of gold

Oh, you are my Manhattan from the sky
You look so neat and tidy when I'm way up high
But I know your streets are lined with a fine mess inside
I wanna come down and walk around

You are my Manhattan from the sky
You look so neat and tidy when I'm way up high
But I know your streets are lined with a fine mess inside
I wanna come down and walk around you're mind

Ohhhh, ohhh
