Go to the empire state and watch the city lights   Hear the noise of millions struggle in the sprawl   Stare into the sky we're few and far between   Black eyes full of stars wide with memories      Every street I ever walked   Every home I ever had   Is lost      Every flower I ever held   Every spring I ever had   Has dried      Every man I ever knew   Every woman I ever had   Is gone      Everything I ever touched   Everything I ever had   Has died      Lie down in the park and watch the satellites   Hear the children sing just a breath away   Dance in heavy air along the interstate   Black lung full of fumes choke on memories      Every street I ever walked   Every home I ever had   Is lost      Every flower I ever held   Every spring I ever had   Has dried      Every man I ever knew   Every woman I ever had   Is gone      Everything I ever touched   Everything I ever had   Has died
