You, with the grace of birds in the wild
and you with the bigger hand floating on the sea over me
you ask me how i got used to it
funny how the rocks all around me spilled into a pit
they pull away,
but the current gets rougher everywhere
and the road gets buried under there
in the dark the ghost rider with laser eyes
pins me down and draws a line outside my heart
but the ghosts don’t get tired
ghosts can’t be buried
ghosts don’t get tired
dead, not buried
go easy on me, i am way out in New York
go easy on me, i am way out and out of my mind
i am over the top, for the final time i will emerge
ride the waves and i’m floating above
you will know, you will know that it’s me
wide awake in new york
