Broad-shouldered beasts fill the sky Manhattan beams at the night But you are wrapped up in white Curled up in fright ♪ So I took you to the city for the night To dance under dizzying silver light And for a moment you were wild With a? like a child Just a moment
But wasn't it you who said I was not free? And wasn't it you who said I needed peace? And now it's you who's flawed by fear of it all and it's alright Take it out on me And it's alright Take it out on me ♪ These apartment walls are paper thin And no one is trying to listen in Want to hear our doubts, hear our whispers and shouts? They don't care ♪ Wasn't it you who said I was not free? Wasn't it you who said I needed peace? And now it's you who's flawed by fear of it all and it's alright Take it out on me And it's alright Take it out on me When you feel the world Wrapping around your neck Feel my hand wrapped in yours And when you feel the world Wrapping around your neck Don't succumb ♪ But it's alright Take it out on me And it's alright Take it out on me ♪ And it's alright Take it out on me
