Hard as the kick in a young man's stride
I stabbed myself back into the night
One heel in front, one heel behind
Life in the Empire State...
Angels and devils before my eyes
The palms of my hands hung by my side
Helpless I watched them destroy and divide
Life in the Empire State...
Cold were my bones, warm was the fire
White was your face cast to my mind
Bright as ever any light that shined
On Life in the Empire State
Into the Void I roared in vain
What if the South's gonna do it again
Promise you'll b by my side for the end
Of Life in the Empire State...
Shrug off the shifting weight of home
And hope that the Almight Anchor will hold
Was there room in your heart for your weakest son all along
Whistle sirens the Blind comin' on...
No matter how lion-hearted my will I still stray beyond?
I threw up my hands and swore I'd find more in yr arms
Was the Narrow Way there in our midst all along
Sounds like the empire State's comin' on...

It feels like coming in a dream
I see it coming in a flash
And if it comes it comes
But if it don't I'm gonna crack
Who put the kick back in a young man's stride
There's nothing like the feel
Of destruction come alive
There's nothing like a drive
Express into yr mind
Who put the kick back in a young man's stride
I hear you coming with a scream
I see you coming with a flash
And if you come you come
And if you don't I won't need to ask
Who put the kick back in a young man's stride

You bring a sudden ray of hope
Thats comes with every lightning bolt
I love to watch them go up in smoke
You bring a soft summer smile
Come in every once in a while
I wish you'd go the extra mile for me tonight
And everybody knows it
But no one wants to show it
They all just want to throw it in my face
You bring a sudden ray of hope
That comes in very can of coke
I love to feel it roll down my throat
You bring a soft subtle style
That comes around every once in a while
Wish you'd go the extra mile for me tonight
And everybody knows it
But no one wants to show it
They all just want to throw it in my face

And so with the explorers on my heels I started t'wheel/Stepped aside stone walls, i was sick of it all/And so I set my sail on yr coattails and yr warm shawl/Up where there's an Everlasting Arm, sends us out alone, moves us out of harm/Ever-reaching always sweeping...And though I struggled t'take my place/there stood my mistake/Standing there like some great big theatre curtain he knew for certain I'd come down on you softly/Up where.../By and by the gates swung wide/Loved ones came in sight/Storming down the street like Puerto-Rican kids in a summer rain/Breaking open the hydrants and going insane/Up where...

I'm so close,
I'm almost inside
It won't be long
Before the mystery is mine
I'm so close
I'm almost inside
But there's times
I hung my head and cried
I'm so close
I'm almost inside
I'm so close
Racing the tide
I'm so close
I'm almost inside
I dream I changed
That can't escape my mind
I'm so close
I'm almost inside
But there were times
There was no end insight
I'm so close
I'm almost inside
I'm so close
Racing the tide
I'm so close
I'm almost inside
There big waves
We always knew I'd ride
I'm so close
I'm almost inside
I'm so close
Racing the tide
I'm so close
I'm almost inside
I'm so close
Racing the tide
I'm so close
I'm almost inside
I'm so close
Racing the tide

With a wink from a starlet's eye
A string of pearls come to life
Who knows what black and crazy thoughts
swim inside a girlfriend's heart
No brighter jewel is there above
Than the gem of a girl still in love
Below the horizon the last crown jewel
Pales among the stars at noon
When out of the blue a rainbow rockets thru
A kiss from an old flame
A trip to the moon
Endlessly falling my way downtown
Someone to throw both arms around
Who knows what black and crazy names
Swim around inside her brain
Adrift across the silver screen
Just imagine you and me
Our strolling make-believe ballroom glides
Set the rainbow room afire
When out of the blue a rainbow rockets thru
A kiss from an old flame
A trip to the moon
Off into the starlit nite
Two fools rush in you and I
Feel the rough hand close behind
Above the Heaven's Open wide...
When out of the blue a rainbow rockets thru
A kiss from an old flame
A trip to the moon
When out of the blue a rainbow rockets thru
A kiss from an old flame
A trip to the moon

Good morning sun good morning shine I feel lost all the time
Somewhere ahead must lay my first peaceful night
Crimson flames golden shores where I land Don't care no more
Eleventh hour heart of stone on bended knee facing home
Almighty above Almighty below an unfortunated end to yr Civil War
Somewhere ahead must lay my first peaceful night.
