Silver Manhattan

Opening lines
Standing on the corner
Where I first saw her
In the summer sunset
She came in from the Midwest
Books that she's reading
We're all dropouts anyway
Tonight she's bleeding
Like a Tennessee Williams play
Don't look back silver Manhattan
All your dreams are true
Night goes black
They can't put a price on you
She was on a mission
Another drunk musician
Fix your hair and makeup
Talk about the breakup
I'm an illusion but I need it anyway
Don't look back silver Manhattan
Can you still be true?
She wore black
Summer came shining through
Well she had a baby
Moved up to Brewster
Don't look back silver Manhattan
All your dreams are true
I'll be back and we'll have a drink or two
How do you make it alone
Written in lipstick or stone
How do you make it alone
Innocent, listless and stoned
