Empire State lyrics

Song information

Artist: Mercury Rev
Album: See You On The Other Side

Lyrics

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 yr 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 yr heart for yr 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..
