Cat Power Lyrics
"Manhattan"

The hotel room and the street below
People come and people go
All the friends that we used to know
Ain't coming back
Ain't coming back
Ain't coming back

See your heart has a rhythm
Well I see, got your secret on
You say you have nothing to hide
You and your secret life

Don't look at the moon tonight
You'll never be, never be, never be Manhattan
Don't look at the moon tonight
You can never be, never be, never be, never be Manhattan

Little one with your badge and your suitcase on
No suit and your hair's not right
Cause nobody knows who's this woman by your side

It's not who you know, it's the useful woman by your side.
It's not who you know, it's the useful woman by your side,
Manhattan.

See your heart has a rhythm
Well I see, you got your secret on
You say you have nothing to hide
You and your secret life

Don't look at the moon tonight
You'll never be, never be, never be Manhattan
Don't look at the moon tonight
You can never be, never be, never be, never be Manhattan

See your heart has a rhythm
You got your secret on
And you say you got nothing to hide
You, you, you and your secret life

You'll never be, never be, never be Manhattan
Howlin' at me, howlin' at you
Howlin' at me, howlin' at you

Liberty in the basement light
Free speech, lipstick and the moonlight
Howling to get me, howlin' to get you
In Harlem, in a dark back room
Dancing to a different tune
Howling at me, howling at you
