Manhattan Fault Line Lyrics - Steve Wynn

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) 

Manhattan fault line 

(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 

Manhattan, Manhattan fault line 

Manhattan, Manhattan fault line
