Manhattan Transfer - The Offbeat Of Avenues

10 Minutes Till The Savages Come Lyrics

by Manhattan Transfer
Album: The Offbeat Of Avenues (1991)



Spiked heels and porkpie hat -
Have you on the mend
In no time flat
A shimmy and a shake,
A pitter and pat
Hey there sugar -
Take a look at that!

Dont you despair cause your
Fantasy life is nowhere
Under my care youll be
Back in the pink
Drunk without a drink

Tunnel down in soft silk and satin
Loosen up and roll to the
Rumble of the drum
Make believe its midnite
In manhattan
10 minutes till the savages come

Come here and dont look back -
Meet me at the end
Of the cul-de-sac
Come on! stand up at attention
And Ill do the same
Hey there tiger,
Now dont you be ashamed

Life has a way of destroying our
Sense of childs play
But under my wing youll be
Back in the pink
Drunk without a drink

Tunnel down in soft silk and satin
Let your backbone roll to the
Rumble of the drum
Make believe its midnite
In manhattan
10 minutes till the savages come

Sigmund freud himself
Wouldnt have needed to worry
If his hands were tied by me
Theres no neurosis that this
Doctor cant diagnose
Ill find the monster and
Deliver a lethal dose

Life has a way of destroying
Our sense of childs play
But under my wing youll be
Back in the pink
Drunk without a drink

(repeat 1st chorus)
(repeat 1st verse)
