Been the crawl of a mountain
Been a link in a chain
Been scolded for stealing

Been told to behave

Been reading the forecast

Something's coming this way
But it's taking 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 sleeping for days


Been one in a million
Been a million to one

This is taking forever
It 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 digging to China

Been a fish in the sea
Been talking to Jesus
He's not talking to me


Been reading the forecast
Something's coming this way

But it's taking forever
I'm too tired to maintain 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 stealing
Been carted away
