    Story Behind the Song
    manhattan. everyday i walked up 8th ave from 42nd to 57th. the sights and sounds were overwhelming. culture shock. and i realized- everyone is looking for some sorta saviour. apparently on 8th ave lust is the messiah. meanwhile, new york saved me.

    Lyrics
    walking down the city block
    triple x and porn shop
    caught up in the rush hour flow
    pushing past the peep show

    maybe she can save your soul
    maybe salvation waits behind the red doors
    of new york

    never thought i’d end up here
    faith proved stronger than the fear
    give me your tired and your poor
    washed up on the concrete shore

    maybe she can save your soul
    maybe salvation waits behind the red doors
    of new york

    fate i wait desperately to meet
    on 8th and 57th street
    flesh of my flesh, bone of my bone
    always and never alone

    maybe she can save your soul
    maybe salvation waits behind the red doors
    of new york
