you spill your colors over me

you come in silver and gold and green

but you're darker than you seem

i am impatient as a child

i want to see you go crazy wild

but you just sit there and smile



tell me can you hear me (hear me)

am i speaking clearly?

i am saying i am really on your side

if you don't believe me (leave me)

i'll be in the passenger seat

watching as you drive

i love to watch you drive



cause your smile is the manhattan skyline

your smile is the manhattan skyline

your smile is the manhattan skyline

and i don't want to cry anymore

i don't want to die anymore



those angry little buisness men

are thronging the dungeon streets of NYC

as you drive me stopping to give them the finger again

you rest your head against the wheel

say 'let's go anywhere but here'

traffic lights are mistle toe

so i kiss you hard and say 'let's go'



your smile is the manhattan skyline (4x)

oh, oh, oh



tell me can you hear me (hear me)

am i speaking clearly? 

i am saying i am really on your side

if you don't believe me (leave me)

i'll be in the passenger seat

watching as you drive

it's good to be alive

and i'm alive, i'm alive

you're alive, we're alive, oh



your smile is the manhattan skyline (3x)



receding behind us

receding behind us
