Lyrics

Manhattan

I tip to Bengal

Tip to Somal

I tip to Burmese

Tip Kenyanese

See, see them sliding through the sun

See, see them sliding through the sun

Through the sun

I tip Havanian

Abyssinian

Here Alaskan

Here Corsican

See, see them sliding through the sun

See, see them sliding through the sun

Through the sun

Scalper in the lampglow

Scalper on a chair

Fleur de Lis

The rest is connected

Chief of police

The phone's disconnected

And here you are boy

Here you are

Here you are boy

Here you are

Here you are boy

Here you are

I tip to Bengal

No he tips to Bengal

Tips to Somal

Hey, Hey Nasser

Tips to Burmese

Tips Kenyanese

See, see them sliding through the sun

See, see them sliding through the sun

Scalper in the lampglow

Scalper everywhere

Stiff white shirt

And his arms don't work

Say Fleur de Lis

The rest is connected

Chief of police

The phone's disconnected

And here you are boy

Here you are

Here you are boy

Here you are

Here you are boy

Here you are

He tips Havanian

Yips Abyssinian

Here Alaskan

Hey Corsican

We tip to Russo

On me all my life

See him sliding through the sun

On me all my life

See him sliding through the sun
