CHASING MANHATTAN

Do you ever get tired of the life that your living?
Do you ever feel stuck in that ditch youʼve been digging?
Get it today, pay for it all tomorrow

Do you ever get full of the crap that their feedinʼ you?
Do you ever get sore from your poor wallet bleedinʼ you?
Get it today, pay for it all tomorrow

Phone is ringing
No oneʼs home
Chase Manhattan
On the phone

Do you ever get sick of them tightening the belt?
Are you tired of losing the hand youʼve been dealt?
Sweat it today, pay for it all tomorrow

Do you ever get weary of footing the bill?
Tired of supporting their house on the hill?
Sweat it today, pay for it all tomorrow

Thereʼs a knocking
At the door
Tax collector
He wants more

Do you ever get nervous your numberʼs come up?
Do you ever get worried you ainʼt done enough?
Regret it today, pay for it all tomorrow

Do you ever get anxious ʻbout life after death?
Ever get scared about whatʼs coming next?
Regret it today, pay for it all tomorrow

Look around
Breeze is blowing
No one's listening
To whatʼs goinʼ on
