Manhattan Manhattan Manhattan Manhattan
Youth
Certain of something and stuck on the new
Manhattan Manhattan Manhattan Manhattan
Youth
Locked into moments with our only truth
Manhattan Manhattan Manhattan Manhattan
Youth

Wide open eyes
He takes his time
And holding out his hand waiting for a guide
His street is cold
His mothers old
Pace past the garbage and repeat:
Is it natural?

You see that it’s fast
The stone falls away
The latin’s been lost
Can’t find it these days
I walk in the room
The same look on my face
The latin’s been lost
Lost upon the Manhattan Manhattan Manhattan Manhattan Youth

Certain of something, stuck in the new
Manhattan Manhattan Manhattan Manhattan
Youth
Minds are made up with their backs to the booth
Manhattan Manhattan Manhattan Manhattan
Youth
Locked into moments with our only truth

And he takes his time
Like I take mine
Against the glass
Look for a breaking line
What does he see?
And is it clear?
We offer up a truth that’s only valid here

His brother’s at the door
I learned not to wait
The father’s been lost since ‘78
He came here with an eye
No party, no disco
Just bring your son into the world
You only let him go

Whatever they do, they do it for you
Whatever they do, they do it for you
Whatever they do, they do it for you

They do it for the Manhattan Manhattan Manhattan Manhattan
Youth
Certain of something, stuck in the new
Manhattan Manhattan Manhattan Manhattan
Youth
Promise you want this, they want it for you,
Manhattan Manhattan Manhattan Manhattan
Youth
Raise both your sons to out run the both of you
