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
