Opening Lines
Standing on the corner
Where I first saw her

In the summer sunset
She came in from the Midwest
Books that she's reading

We'll all dropouts anyway
Tonight she's bleeding
Like a Tennessee Williams play


Don't look back silver Manhattan
All your dreams are true

Night goes black
They can't put a price on you


She was on a mission
Another drunk musician
Fix your hair and makeup

Talk about he breakup
I'm an illusion
But I need it anyway


Don't look back silver Manhattan
Can you still be true?

She wore black
Summer came shining through


Well she had a baby
Moved up to Brewster


Don't look back silver Manhattan
All your dreams are true
I'll be back and we'll have a drink or two


How do you make it alone
Written in lipstick or stone

How do you make it alone
Innocent, listless and stoned
