I don't know the language, all the words mean fear
This land is sinking as I try to get clear
Knowledge, then wisdom
The answer's right here
Burn the sage and sow the seed
Nobody left to feed

(Coast to coast)
Right, left, right, left, fantasy, fantasy
Don't let them pave my feet down or I'll drown
(Coast to coast)
Right, left, right from coast to coast
Never learn to say goodbye

See you in the middle
When the walls come tumbling down to the sea

I know your language, but I wish it were silence
The seeds are sown in all the small acts of violence
I was just so tired, too tired to say a thing
Kept my head down, eyes closed, and let freedom ring
We let freedom ring
But whose freedom?

(Coast to coast)
Right, left, right, left, fantasy, fantasy
(Coast to coast)
They're gonna pave my feet down and I'll drown
(Coast to coast)
Right, left, right from coast to coast
(Coast to coast)
Better run, better run if want to move at all
(Coast to coast)
Now is it time to say goodbye to New York?
(Coast to coast)
Welcome the ocean and lay your blame down
(Coast to coast)
Right, left, right from coast to coast
(Coast to coast)
Better learn to say goodbye

See you in the middle
When the walls come tumbling down to the sea

(But whose freedom?)
Build a sky, build it big enough to hold us all
Build it big enough to hold us all

Right, left, right, left, fantasy, fantasy
Until you're looking your fear in the eyes
Right, left, right from coast to coast
I'll surrender to the truth, but never to the lies
(Coast to coast)
Maybe I'll never say goodbye to New York
(Coast to coast)
And then they'll pave my feet down and I'll drown
(Coast to coast)
Right, left, right from coast to coast
(Coast to coast)
Never learn to say goodbye
