Lyrics:
The loveliness of Paris seems somehow sadly gay
The glory that was Rome is of another day
I've been terribly alone and forgotten in Manhattan
I'm
On
An island trying to peep the horizon from the highest peak in the sky and
Puerto Rico, Ireland, Manhattan chimed in by him every place I been
Just picture a penthouse way up in the sky
With hinges on chimneys for stars to go by
A sweet slice of Heaven for just you and I
When we're alone
grandire
La belle balle apprendre à rebon dire
Qu'il était pas plus grand que mon bras
Et dire que bientôt il m'arrivera là ou là
La la la human step by
serious, Kuumbaya
On a mountain Satan offered me, Manhattan help me Jah Jah
You can't search me without probable cause
Or that proper ammunition they call
even afford it
I drive so many foreigns
Baby I should be deported
I got a condo in Manhattan
Baby girl, what's happenin'?
You and your ass invited
Hey, hey hey there is a condo in Manhattan
Hey there, hey what's happening
(What's happening?)
You and your friends invited
So go on and get
known as Brooklyn
New York, New York are you ready?
Staten Island
New York, New York Are you ready?
And Manhattan
Yo, yo
Through the thick of this
backed by bullies who be peelin' caps
I sack a rapper like linebacker, play my rhyme backwards
You can hear the Devil speak his mind with fine graphics
by the reigns because I know that I'm freaking
Well, I'm a funky skull and I'm a scorpio
And when I get my flow I'm dr on the go
So q-tip, what you
by the reigns because I know that I'm freaking
Well, I'm a funky skull and I'm a scorpio
And when I get my flow I'm dr on the go
So q-tip, what you
that dial
I rock from Manhattan to the Miracle Mile
My name's Mike D and I'm the ladie's choice
I want to get next to you like Rose Royce
Y'all
Just picture a penthouse way up in the sky
With hinges on chimneys for stars to go by
A sweet slice of Heaven for just you and I
When we're alone.
Just picture a penthouse way up in the sky
With hinges on chimneys for stars to go by
A sweet slice of Heaven for just you and I
When we're alone.
Manhattan
I'm going home
To my city by the bay
I left my heart in San Francisco
High on a hill it calls to me
To be where little cable cars
Climb
How'd'ya like a mansion in Manhattan
And a cosy cottage by the sea?
How'd'ya like to dress in silk and satin?
Baby, have a little dream on me
How'd
Just picture a penthouse way up in the sky
With hinges on chimneys for stars to go by
A sweet slice of Heaven for just you and I
When we're alone.
The klieg lights shoot up over the skyline of Manhattan
but the lights are out on the Mean Streets
A small kid stands by the Lincoln Tunnel
he's selling
Inspired by true crimes
It's not a game, it's nothing to play with
Turn it off then come back the next day
It's here to stay struggle that is
I'm so
The future of our next generation, they been established
Conflicted by some of the same patterns that had us
Money and social status, tell me what really
Canada
They can balance and they can climb
Like their fathers before them
They'll walk the girders of the Manhattan skyline
Shine your light on me Miss
up in Canada
They can balance and they can climb
Like their fathers before them
They'll walk the girders of the Manhattan skyline
Shine your light
And the sunlight streaming
And the natives steaming
I like the island Manhattan
Smoke on your pipe and put that in
I like to be in America
O.K. by me in
What you gonna do now, are you thinkin' bout taking Manhattan on foot
What you gonna do now, are you thinkin bout leavin' verses just stay put
