Snow Is Falling In Manhattan (feat. Jarvis Cocker & Feist)

Snow is falling in Manhattan In a slow diagonal fashion On the Sabbath, as it happens Snow is falling in Manhattan Oh, it looks like it might be a bad one The good caretaker springs to action Salts the stoop and scoops the cat in Tests an icy patch for traction And snow Snow, oh-whoa, oh-whoa, oh-whoa Snow, oh-whoa, oh-whoa, oh-whoa Snow, oh Snow, oh Snow, oh-whoa, oh-whoa, oh-whoa, oh-whoa, oh-whoa Levels rising on the island It shows no sign of soon subsiding Drifting deeply down in Brooklyn So much joy in merely looking Inside he's got a fire crackling And on the couch, beneath an afghan Lies an old friend he just took in Seeking shelter from the cold wind At snow It's coming down in smithereens On Staten Island, Bronx and Queens It's blanketing the city streets And the streets beneath are fast asleep Songs build little rooms in time And housed within the song's design Is the ghost the host has left behind To greet and sweep the guest inside Stoke the fire and sing his lines Snow Snow, oh-whoa, oh-whoa, oh-whoa Snow, oh-whoa, oh-whoa, oh-whoa Snow, oh Snow, oh Snow, oh-whoa, oh-whoa, oh-whoa, oh-whoa, oh-whoa Snow is falling in Manhattan Snow is falling in Manhattan
