Go to the Empire State and watch the city lights

Hear the noise of millions struggle in the sprawl

Stare into the sky, we're few and far between

Black eyes full of stars, wide with memories



Every street I ever walked

Every home I ever had

Is lost



Every flower I ever held

Every spring I ever had

Has died



Every man I ever knew

Every woman I ever had

Is gone



Everything I ever touched

Everything I ever had

Has died



Lie down in the park and watch the satellites

Hear the children sing just a breath away

Dance in the heavy air along the interstate

Black lung full of fumes, choke on memories



Every street I ever walked

Every home I ever had

Is lost



Every flower I ever held

Every spring I ever had

Has died



Every man I ever knew

Every woman I ever had

Is gone



Everything I ever touched

Everything I ever had

Has died
