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. |
