  • 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 Writer/s: KATE ELIZABETH VOEGELE
