The Empty Page

The Empty Page
These are the words
But not the truth
God bless them all
When they speak to you
But that's all right
On an empty stage
Sing out when
There's no other way

Come drift the town
Where secrets lie
Where friends & neighbors
Keep drifting by
But that's all right
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
(yr free to fight)
These are the words
But not the truth
God bless them all
When they speak to you
But that's all right
You're here to stay
Sing out tonight
The empty page
Do you remember the time
When you were new in town
You smashed yr head in the mirror baby
And kissed the frozen ground
(yr ripped up sound)
