Go to 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 memories
[Refrain]
Every street I ever walked,
Every home I ever had
Is lost
Every flower I ever held,
Every spring I ever had
Has dried
Every man I ever knew,
Every woman I ever had
Is gone
Everything I ever touched,
Everything I ever had
Has died
Lie down in the park and watch the satellites
Hear the children sing just a breath away
Dance in heavy air along the interstate
Black lung full of fumes choke on memories
[Refrain x2]
