Sonic Youth - The Empty Page lyrics
[Sonic Youth - The Empty Page lyrics]
These are the words but not the truth
God bless them all when they speak to you
But that's alright on an empty stage
Sing out when there's no other way
Come drift the town where secrets lie
Where friends and neighbours keep drifting by
But that's alright you're here to stay
Sing out tonight the empty page
I always thought I'd see
Your name in flashing light
You did it all for free, girl
And freely ripped the night
You're free to fight
These are the words but not the truth
God bless them all when they speak to you
But that's alright you're here to stay
Sing out tonight the empty page
Do you remember the time
When you were new in town
You smashed your head in the mirror, baby
And kissed the frozen ground
Yr ripped up sound
The empty page has wasted down
The empty page is ripped
The empty page will waste this town
The empty page has slipped
God bless them all when they speak to you
But that's alright on an empty stage
Sing out when there's no other way
Come drift the town where secrets lie
Where friends and neighbours keep drifting by
But that's alright you're here to stay
Sing out tonight the empty page
I always thought I'd see
Your name in flashing light
You did it all for free, girl
And freely ripped the night
You're free to fight
These are the words but not the truth
God bless them all when they speak to you
But that's alright you're here to stay
Sing out tonight the empty page
Do you remember the time
When you were new in town
You smashed your head in the mirror, baby
And kissed the frozen ground
Yr ripped up sound
The empty page has wasted down
The empty page is ripped
The empty page will waste this town
The empty page has slipped
