Empty Nest Lyrics

Slap on the back For the man with the sand in his hair Spinning with sound As you're feeling around for the change Twist off the top Even though you know he's never there Polish the thoughts For a moment you notice it's strange How emptiness remains Oh !, emptiness remains Oh !, empty nest Back in the shadow of days Somehow you are remembering But constant the flow Of the poison that fills up your space Day hits your eyes Like the flash of a wedding day camera Twist of the blade But a memory you'll never betray How emptiness remains Oh !, emptiness remains Oh !, empty nest You get lost while you still can That's the cost of living on a landslide You can dance every night No one's laughing at you now
