How does a man survive seduction on the floor?
A new day’s arrived and I wanted a little more
But this is the limit I ride
I’m going over the sea and into the sky

All I wanted was a very vociferous lover
Who wouldn’t leave it all to me
When I arrived it was all I could do to discover
Someone who would let me be

I will not change, I won’t grow older
Until the day when I can leave this all behind
Until the day when we’re together
Until the day when we all sing:

[How does a man] Tell me, how does a man survive
[When everything is] Everything is changing?
[How does a man] Tell me, how does a man survive
[When everything is] Everything is changing?

So I picked up my life and I walked out in the rain
A new day’s arrived and I’m tired of the pain
But this is the limit I ride
There’s so much to see and I’d much rather fly

Offer the world and I’ll settle for Manhattan harbor
If you’ll leave it all to me
I see you’ve been sharpening the razor but I’m not ready for a trip to the barber
Why can’t you let it be?

I will not change, I won’t grow older
Until the day when I can leave this all behind
Until the day when we’re together
Until the day when we all sing:

[How does a man] Tell me, how does a man survive
[When everything is] Everything is changing?
[How does a man] Tell me, how does a man survive
[When everything is] Everything is changing?
