Baby, what ya doing today
What are you doing later?
I don't know my way through a maze
Of gray skyscrapers
But I'm willing to learn

If you want me to, I'll stay just where I am
But I promise just to follow where I land
You can take my word
For that

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 your 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

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

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 your mind

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

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

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 your mind
