Manhattan

lyrics

MANHATTAN
(whiskey, sweet vermouth, bitters, cherry)

The golden walls reflect his face
Corrupted marble hideaway
The golem smiles; the gauntlet thrown
I know, I know… the seeds we’ve sown

[chorus]
Cold as stone, true as sin
Carry us into a gilded age
Charading man is clay inside
His money buys the highest prize

The granite eyes ignore mistakes
Compelling ego; tempting fate
As glaciers melt; engulf the shore
We will regret the dice we throw

Let’s go down in shame
For a noble cause
Wipe us off the map
We’re worthless
This national nightmare
Final call to dismantle the shell of this broken place
And time cares nothing
For flags and outrage
For all of our nightmares
