Lyrics

Manhattan

You’ve gotta shine within this crowd, you’ve gotta dream to mark the place that makes you proud. You’ve gotta fail, give it a try to be the cherry on the Ginger Pumpkin Pie. Oh, the rivers, the rivers, the rivers, the rivers, the rivers shall find the sea. All the cracks in the giants, the concrete, the bricks and the walls will set you free. All these hills and all these valleys, and all these streets belongs to you, all these walks and all these alleys, all their beats belong to you.

You’ve gotta stand, your head up high and let the world know what it takes to make it right, you’ve gotta hope, you’ve gotta know you’re the compass with black feathers, oh hello! Oh, the rivers, the rivers, the rivers, the rivers, the rivers shall find the sea. All the cracks in the giants, the concrete, the bricks and the walls will set you free. All these blocks and all these corners, all these streets belong to you, all these walks and all these quarters, all their beats belong to you.

Home One Day

We all live in our houses and our bubbles, wishful letters in old bottles thrown away. But we all change cause we’re curious and free, and there’s so much more to see and more to play. And we’re all coming home one day, we’re all finding home one day, don’t you, don’t you worry ’bout a thing.

So let’s move when we could be standing still cause there’s strenght and there is will and we’ll be fine. And we walk over mountains, over water, when my heart begins to flutter cause you’re mine. And we’re all coming home one day, don’t you worry ’bout a thing, we’re all finding home one day, you will travel, you will struggle but you’ll win.
And we all drive in black boxes with two windows when we think of all the lovely things we missed. So we long for the chances that are given when all boundaries are riven on our list. And we’re all coming home one day, don’t worry ’bout a thing, we’re all finding home one day, you will travel, you will struggle but you’ll win.

There’s a pen and there is paper and the coffee you just made, I could do this any later but it then might be too late. When you said it could be over before we reached the end, I knew you are still my lover and I don’t want you as a friend, and I won’t give up on you.

You may think that this is heavy, all difficult and hard, but there’s a light that we can both see, it’s the light within the heart. Tuck me in cause I’m so tired of being all alone and set my heart on fire, I can’t do it on my own. Please don’t give up on me.

Oh now, tell me: Are you all mine? Will you come along with me? I’ll promise darkness in the sunshine and a home within the tree, cause there’s a sea behind these mountains, there is hope upon this life, there is roosters for the chickens and a husband for his wife, because I won’t give up on us.

Don’t go through that door like I did before, just stay. My knees reached the floor cause I’ll no more away, away, away.

Before You Moved On

You’ve done it all to save this planet on the battleground, attracting wounded like a magnet before you moved on. So you beg on your knees for salvation. You’ve fixed their hearts with your two bare hands to the marching sound, you’ve made a wish, you’ve made some great plans before you moved on. So you cry on your way to perfection. So throw your heart to all corners of your body cause your love is still at war. Go from the start, you feel strong and proud and mighty and you’ll make it very far.

You hoped that confidence is a weapon, now put it to the ground, don’t you worry much, these things just happen before you move on. There is answers that question the fiction, and this winding road turns to a mission. So throw your heart to all corners of your body cause your love is still at war. Go from the start, you feel strong and proud and mighty and you’ll make it very far.

Walk On The Wild Side

Holly came from Miami F-L-A, hitchhiked her way across USA, plucked her eyebrows on the way, shaved her legs and then he was a she. She says «Hey babe, take a walk on the wild side», said «Hey honey, take a walk on the wild side». Candy came from out on the island. In the backroom she was everybody’s darling, but she never lost her head even when she was given head. She says «Hey babe, take a walk on the wild side», said «Hey babe, take a walk on the wild side», and the girls go doo-do-do.

Little Joe never once gave it away, everybody had to pay and pay. A hustle here, a hustle there, New York City is the place where they said «Hey babe, take a walk on the wild side», I said «Hey Joe, take a walk on the wild side». Sugar Plum Fairy came and hit the streets, looking for soul food and a place to eat. Went to the Apollo, you should’ve seen him go go-go! They said «Hey Sugar, take a walk on the wild side», I said «Hey babe, take a walk on the wild side». Alright huh!

Jackie is just speeding away, thought she was James Dean for a day. Then I guess she had to crash, Valium would’ve helped that bash. She said «Hey babe, take a walk on the wild side», I said «Hey honey, take a walk on the wild side».
