Excelsior Tonight Lyrics

Darling you make the skyline seem so far away

In your confident attire, the dress that blew away

I must have fallen by the wayside between the thunder and lightning

Impulsive decisions may have made the storm seem warm

Darling you don't have to listen to me

Please stay close to me though as the edge isn't free

But I know one or two things about liberty

With the statue behind us we can move out of here (we could move, we could move out here)

Come and take my hand, we can sing our song tonight (we could sing 'I'm a mess' I'm a mess I'm a mess)

I need to ask before the lights come on

Is this it then, or are we staying forever?

As the sickness may come crawling back around

Excelsior tonight

Here comes the posse, they warned they'd take your heart away

Crossing over the Brooklyn Bridge, they came to play

We got lost together somewhere between New Jersey and New York City

Now Manhattan, Chelsea seems so far away

Darling you don't have to follow my traits

I'm useless, there's nothing people seem to relate

But you look like something New York forgot to make

With the statue behind us we can move out of here ( we could move, we could move, we could move out here)

Come and take my hand, we can sing our song tonight ( we could sing 'I'm a mess' I'm a mess I'm a mess)

I need to ask before the lights come on

Is this it then, are we staying forever?

As the sickness may come crawling back around

Excelsior tonight

We stood out on the edge

That's where it seemed to make

So much more sense

I held you somewhere safer, warmer tonight

With the statue behind us we can move out of here (we could move, we could move, we could move out here)

Come and take my hand, we can sing our song tonight (we could sing 'I'm a mess' I'm a mess, I'm a mess)

I need to ask before the lights come on

Is this it then, are we staying forever?

As the sickness may come crawling back around

Excelsior tonight
