Manhattan Déjà Vu (Indie Night Drive)

[Verse 1] My blood remembers grey sidewalks, Baltic clouds and winter’s quiet sting, But my eyes drink in these skylines, all this glass and steel and city ring. For twenty-five years I watched you through the static glow of borrowed screens, And my chest aches like an echo, beating time with your subways and hidden seams. [Chorus] You’re more than a picture, you’re a restless signal buried in my bones, Like I walked these corners once before, in another life of pay phones. New York, you keep calling through the static, through the salt and drifting rain, I am walking toward you now, on a distant, haunted, half-remembered train. [Verse 2] A Scorpio heart needs thunder, concrete nights and unforgiving air, Strangers’ cameras frame my future, a home I’ve never touched but feel somewhere. I twist my tongue into verses, spill my words like sparks into the dark, Let this crooked song find Brooklyn, like a flare above the East River’s stark. [Outro] New York... I have walked here before. I am coming back once more.
