Acropolis Blues - City Lyrics

A window stands between myself and Manila
As her pale eyes shine in the moonlight
My shaking hands wonder what it takes to be with her
For just one night I wanna feel like
I am not a stranger
This city held my hand
But I had better plans
And I was out for more
As every busy street
Slowly sang me to sleep
Oh I was all alone
Staring at a glass that's filled to half with tequila
I promised that I'd go easy this time
Can't change the past but still the last feels no better
To feelings I haven't set aside
I am not a stranger
Cause I am not a stranger
This city held my hand
But I had better plans
And I was out for more
As every busy street
Slowly sang me to sleep
Oh I was all alone
I'll spend the daylight in my bedroom
Just to get my head right and I'll be out soon
And as the sun falls down
I'll feel it all around
And I will not come out
A distance stands between myself and Manila
And my chocolate eyes never feel right
Is it best if I remove myself from the picture
No matter the light I never feel like
I am not the stranger
