this place is crowded
i need a break
give me time to think and a solitary place
the lines are getting longer
it's clear i don't belong
you're the empire state
and i'm king kong

take me i'm yours tonight
i won't say a word won't put up a fight
just let me melt into the dark
bury me naked in the yard

this town ain't big enough
this town ain't strong enough
this town ain't hard enough
but i can't break free

in the morning i am all ablaze
with hot ideas and cold x rays
in the night i'm a floppy mess
i'm the beating heart that's in my chest

just leave me all alone
there's misconceptions i have to own
look away before i turn to salt
i won't be anybody's fault

this town ain't big enough
this town ain't strong enough
this town ain't hard enough
but i can't break free

everybody thinks that they know it all
from the golden gate to the great china wall
i know enough to know i don't
the rain falls and the thunder groans

i'm just an insect who
fell in love with you
warm nights and a glowing face
and running out of space

action's worth a million words
words are air until something occurs
when i look up too the sky
i watch the days go flying by
