Steve Wynn - Manhattan Fault Line lyrics

They say that LA will fall into the sea Tumbling down where the coastline does curve The East Coast, they look down upon the West Say the ba*tards will get what they surely deserve But geologists point to a line that is drawn From 14th Street to the Upper West Side This city could drop in a minute or two Stunned and surprised but one hell of a ride Manhattan Fault Line When I left LA I was 34 Leaving trouble and uncertainty behind The errors and pitfalls of my youth To the present, they made neatly drawn line New York was just like being born again Which means a rough adolescence can't be far behind A lesson learned is a lesson forgotten Tremors and aftershocks pay me no mind Manhattan Fault Line Will take us down with it someday The boxes were packed and arrangements were made To sneak out and leave by the end of the day Allegations and confrontations hardly feared But we'd just run out of things to say You'd think at a certain point in your life You've learned everything that you're going to learn But sparks lead to fires and fires lead to ashes At least you know for sure you've been burned I can sift through the rubble to track down the blame I can feel righteous and just I can feel nothing but shame But what does it matter when I end up alone The evidence buried beneath cities of stone Manhattan Fault Line Will take us down with it someday
