Eels - Manchester Girl lyrics

She hides in the library reading Henry miller books 'til they flash the lights it's time to go When she was a little kid she said "dad, i don't know why I feel so penniless inside" She's on the promenade She's looking for a dress She's locked outside a world Just a manchester girl Oh i'll meet you there By the old newsstand Oh i'll meet you there tonight Shoot-out at the neighbor's house She pulls the covers on her head She's counting the shots as they go by And pandora's litter box Well it's gettin' mighty high That cat's gonna keep her up at night Another scary dream Another cigarette She's locked outside a world Just a manchester girl Oh i'll meet you there By the old newsstand Oh i'll meet you there tonight
