Guster - Empire State Lyrics

Send "Empire State" ringtones to your cell

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
