lyrics

Down on the corner of Empire Avenue
There is a boy who is no more than 22
He blows on his saxophone, making his revenue
Honking away like a Nunavut caribou
Oh, drop in a dime and he'll play like an ingenue
Down on the corner of Empire Avenue

Down in the dark he continues to saturate
See how the shadows are starting to permeate
They dance to the rhythms as melodies indicate
Moving to music that no one can replicate
Oh, dressed to the nines in his outfit of navy blue
Down on the corner of Empire Avenue

And I know that you feel it too
And the music is coming for you
And you're losing your field of view
And you're tasting the residue
Of things that have past, nothing will last, life is too fast
Nothing will stop the incessant crusade
Of the boy and the music he's already played
Oh no!
(Nothing will stop the incessant crusade
Nothing will stop the incessant crusade)

Down on the corner of Empire Avenue
There is a boy who is no more than 22

And you know that you feel it too
And the music is coming for you
And you're losing your field of view
And you're tasting the residue
Of things that have past, nothing will last, life is too fast
Nothing will stop the incessant crusade
Of the boy and the music he's already played
Oh no!
(Nothing will stop the incessant crusade
Nothing will stop the incessant crusade)

Down on the corner of Empire Avenue
Playing his way to the riverside overview
(Somebody tell him exactly what's true
Somebody tell him he's staging a coup)
The boy is still playing and pushing to power through
Taking the groove to an underground rendezvous
(Somebody tell what he's going to do
Somebody tell him the music is through)

And the power he carries is very much overdo
Down on the corner of Empire Avenue
Honking away like a Nunavut caribou
Down on the corner of Empire Avenue
Such is the boy who is no more than 22
On Empire Avenue
