manhattan fault line - steve wynn and the dragon bridge orchestra lyrics

they say that la will fall into the sea
tumbling down where the coastline does curve
the east coast, they look down upon the west
say the b-st-rds will get what they surely deserve
but geologists point to a line that is drawn
from 14th street to the upper west side
this city could drop in a minute or two
stunned and surprised but one h-ll of a ride

manhattan fault line

when i left la i was 34
leaving trouble and uncertainty behind
the errors and pitfalls of my youth
to the present, they made neatly drawn line
new york was just 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
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 hardly feared
but 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’re going to learn
but sparks lead to fires and fires lead to ashes
at least you know for sure you’ve been burned
i can sift through the rubble to track down the blame
i can feel righteous and just i can feel nothing but shame
but what does it matter when i end up alone
the evidence buried beneath cities of stone

manhattan fault line
will take us down with it someday
