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 

every thing 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 

every thing I ever had 

has died
