New York Blackout Lyrics - Candy From A Stranger - 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 this blackout, 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
