Radio 4 - Coming Up Empty lyrics

Flock to the animals on the corner while they feed

Sell off your soul for a chance to be freed

Brush off the want and you give in to the need

Always the ones that no one ever thinks

5 am and we rush back from the scene

Visions of comfort too far for the eye to see

Hold back the tears was the promise forced to keep

If I cant see you soon then I'll meet you in my dreams

Slowly heading down to New Orleans

Always running

Coming up empty

Carried him home, a broken sack of bones

The stink of stale beer worn like a cheap cologne

Make the morning round of apologies

Smoke too many cigarettes cant recollect anything

Never wanted to hurt any one

Always running

Coming up empty
