Manhattan Fault Line

They say that LA will drop into the sea

Tumbling down where the coastline does curve

The east coast, they look down upon the west

Say the bastards will get what they surely deserve

Geologists point to a line that is drawn

From fourteenth 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

Manhattan fault line

When I left LA I was thirty four

Leaving trouble and uncertainty behind

The errors and pitfalls of my youth

To the present, they'd made a neatly drawn line

New York was 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

Manhattan fault line [Incomprehensible]

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 they were hardly feared

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 ever gonna learn

But sparks lead to fires and fire lead to the ashes

At least you know for sure when you've really been burned

I can sift through the rubble, I can track down the blame

I can feel righteous and I can feel nothing but shame

But what does it matter when I end up alone?

The evidence buried beneath cities of stone

Manhattan, Manhattan fault line

Manhattan, Manhattan fault line

Manhattan, Manhattan fault line

Manhattan, Manhattan fault line

Manhattan, Manhattan fault line

Manhattan, Manhattan fault line

Manhattan, Manhattan fault line [Incomprehensible]

Will take us down with it someday

Sift through the rubble and track down the blame

No, I'll never end up alone

Sift through the rubble and track down the blame

No, I'll never end up alone

Manhattan, Manhattan fault line

Manhattan, Manhattan fault line

Manhattan, Manhattan fault line
