Manhattan Avenue

Lyrics

Send a breeze
 A pitbull's yelp
 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
 (Instrumental break)
 How wild it is
 What strange a vice
 That a mugger and a child should share the same paradise
