I've been the call on a mountain   been the link in the chain   I've been scolded for stealing   I've been told to behave   I've been reading the forecast   something's coming this way   but its taking forever I'm to 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   I've been 1 in a million   been a million to 1   this is taking forever   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   fall the 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   somethings coming this way   but its taking forever   I'm to 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   fall the walls all around, we'll build again   rebuild again      I've been the call on a mountain   been the link in the chain   I've been scolded for stealing   I've been carried away
