The rain slammed hard as bars It caught me by surprise Mutts of the planet And shook me down for alibis
I'm waiting for the keeper to release me Debating this sentence Biding my time in memories Of old friends of mine
In daydreams of birdland I see my soul on fire Burning up the bandstand
Next time I'll be bigger I'll be better than ever I'll be happily attached To my cold hard cash
But now Manhattan holds me To a chair in the sky With the bird in my ears And boats in my eyes Going by
These things I wish I'd done Some friends I'm gonna miss Beautiful lovers I never got the chance to kiss
Daydreamin' drugs the pain of living Processions of missing Lovers and friends Fade in and they fade out again
In these daydreams of rebirth I see myself in style Raking in what I'm worth for
Next time I'll be bigger I'll be better than ever I'll be resurrected royal I'll be rich as standard oil
But now Manhattan holds me To a chair in the sky With the bird in my ears And boats in my eyes Going byTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
