歌词
Well, she started out working for an Illinois assembly line
Not really what she wanted
Just dealing with the feeling
When you're feeling like you wish it was fine
You just don't talk about it
Then along came an offer from the city of steel
They were stranded at the airport
She could barely believe he was real
So she said
"Make it happen, take me to Manhattan
If you like LA, that's cool
Or you can slip me right on down the Mississippi
I'd go anywhere with you"
Well, they met up on the river in the middle of the summertime
He was from out on the coast
And ever since he said he'd never stop until they got it right
It's what they wanted the most
He had been everywhere and she'd been alone
They were just looking for a place to call home
So he said
"How 'bout Manhattan? We can make it happen
I'll do California too
I know it's iffy, but how 'bout the Mississippi?
I'd go anywhere with you"
Any old town will do
I could die in the fly of a zone with you
Then they started their first argument
And then the fighting never stopped
It's just the same old story
All the boys and girls who never figure one another out
Then all the tears start pouring
She never wanted to see him again
Then the map came off the wall
She started marking it with the red pen
Then she said
"We'll take Manhattan where anything can happen
You take California too
Forever after, without, without laughter
We got better things to do
Take Manhattan where anything can happen
You take California too
Take the planet, you can fucking have it
Look out 'cause she's coming for you"
