the entire empire state, it couldn't hold me back   cos i was driving away from faces that I couldn't leave their place in   and that's all right and that's ok by me   and that's all right and that's ok by me      i've got a couple of books on tape and a fresh pack of cigarettes      and if i feel too pushed, the words seem to disappear   so i'll take you up on the ferris wheel or simply grab your hand   and that's alright and that's ok by me   and that's alright and that's ok by me      i've got a couple of books on tape and a fresh pack of cigarettes   and i've been over it twenty times, but i guess i'll have to do it again
