New York Blackout Lyrics

Soul Asylum

When you chew my ear off, try and let me know
You will never get another piece of me
Cause in a new york blackout, things go kinda slow
And you miss the things you never thought youd see
Theres still so many things I want to be
Sometimes I just dont even want to sleep
In a new york blackout, its so hard to see
All the angels that are looking after me
The lies bounce off the water in your eyes
And the dead lift their heads and come alive
And I may never escape this darkened city
But still Im trying to find you in this blackout
Where its warm inside and always open late
And the doors to hell look just like heavens gate
And you never know whats going on inside
til you step out in the cold and seal your fate
And you might just stop in and say hello
But youve got much more important places to go
Make sure you let everybody know
That I may never enlight this darkened city
Still Im trying to find you in this blackout
In a new york blackout, you might think Im gone
But Ill wake up on the front steps of your door
