Coming Up Empty Lyrics - Singles - Radio 4

Suburbia, climb out the window to the street 

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 

It's 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 can't see you soon then Ill meet you in my dreams 

Slowly heading down to New Orleans 

Always runnin' 

Always runnin' 

Always runnin' 

Always runnin' 

Comin' up empty 

Comin' up empty 

Carried him home, a broken sack of bones 

The stink of stale beer worn like a cheap cologne 

Make the mornin' round of apologies 

Never wanted to hurt any one
