New Manhattan Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I watch and I wait in this city you call home
The men have reported this street leads to lost souls
[Pre-Chorus]
Took a picture with my eyes
And I'm frightened of girls in plastic heights
(New Manhattan)
Sold to you is paradise
Two silhouettes drenched in red light
[Chorus]
Anywhere we may roam
Boulevards far from home
'Til our final scene, you've got the best of me
Standing in a golden frame
Looking out, but we won't change
'Til our final scene, you've got the best of, got the best of me
[Verse 2]
Your eyes have a silence despite the commotion
We reigned over the shadows that wished we were broken
[Pre-Chorus]
Took a picture with my eyes, I'm your golden
Nothing could ever disguise
(New Manhattan)
Sold to me, but I'll deny I'm safe from harm by your side
[Chorus]
Anywhere we may roam
Boulevards far from home
'Til our final scene, you've got the best of me
Standing in a golden frame
Looking out, but we won't change
'Til our final scene, you've got the best of, got the best of me

What did Joy Crookes say about "New Manhattan"?
“New Manhattan” is about a red light district that I stood crying at in Belgium. I couldn’t believe it, I’d never seen anything like that. And the next street was a family market, and furniture store, so normal. It didn’t make any sense to me that anything like that could exist.
