Maximo Park - Karaoke Plays lyrics

You write a list of things to do

To occupy the time that you could use

But, in my mind its never final

And when you sleep, I try not to wake you as I leave…

Oh, I waited up for you, but you didn’t come back home

I waited up for you. Couldn’t you come back home?

Someone gets run down

Karaoke plays

Somewhere in the background,

But there is no explanation.

What makes a grown man cry?

Karaoke plays and someone gets run down

We never did want the dawn to break

Beside the crumpled sheets in which we lay

You know I’ve changed my ways forever

The North Sea crashes through your dreams as I leave…

I came home there were radio waves

The lights were on, there were radio waves.

I heard voices through the radio waves

I came home there was no-one to be found.
