Go to the Empire State and watch the city lights
Hear the noise of millions struggle in the sprawl
Stare into the sky, we're few and far between
Black eyes full of stars, wide with memoriesEvery street I ever walked
Every home I ever had
Is lostEvery flower I ever held
Every spring I ever had
Has diedEvery man I ever knew
Every woman I ever had
Is goneEverything I ever touched
Everything I ever had
Has diedLie down in the park and watch the satellites
Hear the children sing just a breath away
Dance in the heavy air along the interstate
Black lung full of fumes, choke on memoriesEvery street I ever walked
Every home I ever had
Is lostEvery flower I ever held
Every spring I ever had
Has diedEvery man I ever knew
Every woman I ever had
Is goneEverything I ever touched
Everything I ever had
Has died
