Manchester Girl

She hides in the library reading

Henry miller books

'til they flash the lights it's time to go

When she was a little kid she said

"dad, i don't know why

I feel so penniless inside"

She's on the promenade

She's looking for a dress

She's locked outside a world

Just a manchester girl

Oh i'll meet you there

By the old newsstand

Oh i'll meet you there tonight

Shoot-out at the neighbor's house

She pulls the covers on her head

She's counting the shots as they go by

And pandora's litter box

Well it's gettin' mighty high

That cat's gonna keep her up at night

Another scary dream

Another cigarette

She's locked outside a world

Just a manchester girl

Oh i'll meet you there

By the old newsstand

Oh i'll meet you there tonight
