Lyrics
In Manhattan
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Strung along by a fiction
Read it in a magazine
Strung along by a fiction
From a movie screen
In Manhattan
You cannot have it all
Turn around for a picture
Watching from the balcony
Another hymn to addictions
That your move between
A glance back my way
In Manhattan
You cannot have it all
I'm staring into the room
I wish I’d known what I know
I walk the halls and sing
Carry me home, my love
