Lyrics
0:09Been the crawl of a mountain
0:13Been a link in a chain
0:17Been scolded for stealin＇
0:20Been told to behave
0:24Been readin＇ the forecast
0:28Somethin＇s coming this way
0:32But it＇s takin＇ forever
0:35I＇m too tired to maintain that
0:39I＇m slow
0:48Been a scratch on the surface
0:51Been a clog in the drain
0:55Been melodramatic
0:59Been sleepin＇ for days
1:03Been one in a million
1:06Been a million to one
1:11This is takin＇ forever
1:14Always seems to return that
1:17I＇m slow
1:26All hands up salute the Empire State
1:41Faith be true you know the way
1:56Ten feet tall in this: an empty space
2:10Fallen walls all around
2:17Destroyed again
2:25Destroyed again
2:35Been diggin＇ to China
2:39Been a fish in the sea
2:43Been talkin＇ to Jesus
2:46But he＇s not talkin＇ to me
2:50Been readin＇ the forecast
2:54Something＇s coming this way
2:58But it＇s taken forever
3:02And I＇ve already maintained that
3:05I＇m slow
3:21All hands up salute the Empire State
3:36Faith is true she knows the way
3:51Ten miles tall in this: an empty space
4:05Fallen walls all around
4:12We＇ll build again
4:20Rebuild again
4:30Been the crawl of a mountain
4:34Been a link in a chain
4:38Been scolded for stealin＇
4:42Been carted away
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
