Manhattan by Scott Walker Lyrics

[Chorus]
Here you are boy
Here you are
Here you are boy
Here you are
Here you are boy
Here you are

[Verse 1]
I tip to Bengal
Tip to Somal
I tip to Burmese
Tip Kenyanese
See them sliding through the sun
I tip Havanian
Abyssinian
Here Alaskan
Here Corsican
See them sliding through the sun
It's on me all my life
On me all my life
[Verse 2]
Scalper in the lampglow
Scalper on a chair
Stick wiped shirt?
And his arm somewhere
Fleur de Lis
Le wrist is connected
Chief of police
A la collar - bones disconnected

[Refrain]
Here you are boy
Here you are
Here you are boy
Here you are
Here you are boy
And hear the word of the Lord

[Verse 3]
I tip to Bengal
No, he tips to Bengal
Tips to Somal
Tips to Burmese
Tips Kenyanese
See them sliding through the sun
[Verse 4]
Scalper in the lampglow
Scalper everywhere
Stick wiped shirt?
Say something round that shredded dirt
Say, Fleur de Lis
Le jaw bone connected
Chief of police
A la ankles - connected

[Refrain]
Here you are boy
Here you are
Here you are boy
Here you are

[Outro]
He tips Havanian
Abyssinian
Here Alaskan
Here Corsican
We tip to Russo
