Guster - Empire State lyrics

Been the crawl of a mountain Been a link in a chain Been scolded for stealin' Been told to behave Been readin' the forecast Somethin's coming this way But it's takin' 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 sleepin' for days Been one in a million Been a million to one This is takin' forever 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 diggin' to China Been a fish in the sea Been talkin' to Jesus But he's not talkin' to me Been readin' the forecast Something's coming this way But it's taken forever And I've already maintained 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 stealin' Been carted away (Thanks to susan for these lyrics)
