Guster Empire State Lyrics

Empire State Lyrics

I've been the call on a mountain

been the link in the chain

I've
been scolded for stealing

I've been told to behave

I've been
reading the forecast

something's coming this way

but its taking
forever I'm to 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

I've been 1 in a million

been a million to 1

this is taking 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

fall the 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

somethings coming this
way

but its taking forever

I'm to 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

fall the
walls all around, we'll build again

rebuild again



I've been
the call on a mountain

been the link in the chain

I've been scolded
for stealing

I've been carried away
