Empire State

Been the crawl of a mountain
 Been a link in a chain
 I've been scolded for stealing
 I've been told to behave
 I've been reading the forecast
 Something's coming this way
 But it's taking forever
 I'm too tired to maintain that
 I'm slow
 Been a scratch on the surface
 Been a clog in the drain
 I've been melodramatic
 I've been sleeping for days
 I've been one in a million
 Been a million to one
 This is taking forever
 Always seems to return that
 I'm slow
 All hands up, salute the Empire State
 Faith be true, you know the way
 Ten feet tall in this: an empty space
 Fallen walls all around
 Destroyed again
 Destroyed again
 Been digging to China
 Been a fish in the sea
 I've been talking to Jesus
 But he's not talking to me
 I've been reading the forecast
 Something's coming this way
 But it's taking forever
 And I'm too tired to maintain that
 I'm slow
 All hands up, salute the Empire State
 Faith is true, she knows the way
 Ten miles tall in this: an empty space
 Fallen walls all around
 We'll build again
 Rebuild again
 Been the crawl of a mountain
 Been a link in a chain
 Been scolded for stealing
 Been carted away
