New York Blackout

When you chew my ear off, try and let me know
 You will never get another piece of me
 'Cause in a New York blackout things go kinda slow
 And you miss the things you never thought you'd see
 There's still so many things I want to be
 Sometimes I just don't even want to sleep
 In a New York blackout, it's so hard to see
 All the angels that are looking after me
 The lies bounce off the water in your eyes
 And the dead lift their heads and come alive
 And I may never escape this darkened city
 But still I'm trying to find you in this blackout
 Where it's warm inside and always open late
 And the doors to hell look just like heaven's gate
 And you never know what's going on inside
 'Til you step out in the cold and seal your fate
 And you might just stop in and say hello
 But you've got much more important places to go
 Make sure you let everybody know
 That I may never enlight this darkened city
 Still I'm trying to find you in this blackout
 In this blackout, in this blackout
 In a New York blackout, you might think I'm gone
 But I'll wake up on the front steps of your door
