New York Blackout (Album Version)

New York Blackout (Album Version) - 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 you'd see

There's still so many things I want to be

Sometimes I just don't even want to sleep

In a New York blackout it's 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 I'm trying to find you in this blackout

Where it's warm inside

And always open late

And the doors to hell

Look just like heaven's gate

And you never know

What's going on inside

'Til you step out in the cold

And seal your fate

And you might just stop in and say hello

But you've got much more

Important places to go

Make sure you let everybody know

That I may never enlight this darkened city

Still I'm trying to find you in this blackout

In a New York blackout

You might think I'm gone

But I'll wake up on the front steps of your door
