Manchester Child lyrics

She hides in the library reading Henry Miller books,
`Til they flash the lights, its 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 a nieghbor`s house,
She pulls the covers over her head,
She`s counting the shots as they go by,
In Pandora`s litter box,
Well it`s getting 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
