Been the crawl of a mountain
|
Been a link in a chain
|
Been scolded for stealing
|
Been told to behave
|
|
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
|
Been melodramatic
|
Been sleeping for days
|
|
Been one in a million
|
Been a million to one
|
This is taking forever
|
It 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
|
Been talking to Jesus
|
He's not talking to me
|
|
Been reading the forecast
|
Something's coming this way
|
But it's taking forever
|
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
|
