0:15When you chew my ear off
0:20Try and let me know
0:23You will never get another piece of me
0:32Cause in a New York blackout
0:36Things go kinda slow
0:39And you miss the things
0:41You never thought you'd see
0:48There's still so many things I want to be
0:55Sometimes I just don't even want to sleep
1:04In a New York blackout it's so hard to see
1:11All the angels that are looking after me
1:17The lies bounce off the water in your eyes
1:27And the dead lift their heads and come alive
1:36And I may never escape this darkened city
1:44But still I'm trying to find you in this blackout
2:03Where it's warm inside
2:08And always open late
2:11And the doors to hell
2:13Look just like heaven's gate
2:19And you never know
2:22What's going on inside
2:27'Til you step out in the cold
2:30And seal your fate
2:35And you might just stop in and say hello
2:43But you've got much more
2:45Important places to go
2:51Make sure you let everybody know
3:00That I may never enlight this darkened city
3:08Still I'm trying to find you in this blackout
3:44In a New York blackout
3:48You might think I'm gone
3:51But I'll wake up on the front steps of your door
When you chew my ear off
Try and let me know
You will never get another piece of me
Cause in a New York blackout
Things go kinda slow
And you miss the things
You never thought you'd see
There's still so many things I want to be
Sometimes I just don't even want to sleep
In a New York blackout  it's so hard to see
All the angels that are looking after me
The lies bounce off the water in your eyes
And the dead lift their heads and come alive
And I may never escape this darkened city
But still I'm trying to find you in this blackout
Where it's warm inside
And always open late
And the doors to hell
Look just like heaven's gate
And you never know
What's going on inside
'Til you step out in the cold
And seal your fate
And you might just stop in and say hello
But you've got much more
Important places to go
Make sure you let everybody know
That I may never enlight this darkened city
Still I'm trying to find you in this blackout
In a New York blackout
You might think I'm gone
But I'll wake up on the front steps of your door
