manhattan's basement

from unfinished thoughts (album) by the caretakers

lyrics

Just a cold grey city
It doesn’t look pretty
A trash can of sleeze
And social disease
Rejects in the gutter
The kids choose another
Playing games of amazement
In Manhattan’s basement

Chorus
New York City
Rotted to the core
New York City
I’m going back for more

Walk in central park
But you don’t go after dark
It’s a green paradise of preservation
Where the trees and birds are saved from urbanization
From Strawberry Fields to Grand Central Station

Chorus
