Manhattan

Brainwaves living in stills

Nightmares just floating on film

You found it in the white lies in the back of your mind

And you know it’s not the same reel that you dusted off before

So slide it in a tape deck

Put it in a VCR

Show me how you got in this predicament

Did the devil let you down?

I could tell you it’s the apex

I could tell you it’s the Al hamra

Take another shot of your adrenaline

And pray you get that far

Sharp turns covered in skin

I bet the black gates just letting you in

You want another sure thing, a super 8 dream

But you know this ain't a classic or one you’ve ever seen before

So slide it in a tape deck

Put it in a VCR

Show me how you got in this predicament

Did the devil let you down?

I could tell you it’s the apex

I could tell you it’s the Al hamra

Take another shot of your adrenaline

And pray you get that far

(It came on paddle boats

Upon arrival we tried so hard to flee

It followed)
