Empire State Lyrics

Been the crawl of a mountain
Been a link in a chain
I've been scolded for stealing
I've been told to behaveI've been reading the forecast
Something's coming this way
But it's taking forever
I'm too tired to maintain that I'm slowBeen a scratch on the surface
I've been a clog in the drain
I've been melodramatic
I've been sleeping for daysI've been one in a million
I've been a million to one
This is taking forever
It always seems to return that I'm slowAll 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 againBeen digging to China
I've been a fish in the sea
I've been talking to Jesus

He's not talking to meI've been reading the forecast
Something's coming this way
But it's taking forever
I'm too tired to maintain that I'm slowAll 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 againBeen the crawl of a mountain
Been a link in a chain
Been scolded for stealing
I've been carted away
