been the crawl of a mountain been a link in the 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 it always seems to return
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 the link in a chain
been scolded for stealing been carted away
