Turning Your Back On The Town Lyrics - Singles - Sea Of Flowers

And you feel empty in a different way 

You rest, it's time to sleep, the end of the day 

Leave your brushes in an empty cup 

So hard to catch on, then you found it stuck 

You're giving it up 'cos you can't be bothered 

Letting it slide 'cos you're down 

Cowering away as you've got it covered 

Turning your back on the town 

And you feel empty as in washed and clean 

Used up all the bits, so you've cleared out the scene 

You put your comments in an article 

You let them edit down once the page was full 

Please repeat the question 

I'm struggling to tell 

Do you ask about my business? 

Or just wish me well? 

Can you please repeat the answer 

For I cannot decide 

Do I respond with vigour? 

Or take it in my stride? 

And you feel empty as you've lost a time 

You could really get your claws in, nails filled up with grime 

Decisions sprang, spontaneous, jumped up to surprise 

Now nothing springs alive, the medium's sanitised 

And you feel empty like the pages of a book 

That had nothing there to read, but you still took a look 

The broken paintings that you tried to pull apart 

Some say it's noble to suffer for your art 

Please repeat the question 

I'm struggling to tell 

Do you ask about my business? 

Or just wish me well? 

Can you please repeat the answer 

For I cannot decide 

Do I respond with vigour? 

Or take it in my stride? 

Please repeat the action 

It slipped out of my feel 

Down onto a pavement 

Crushed under a heel 

Can you please repeat responses 

I'm tangled in applause 

Effects have been affecting me 

'Til they cancelled out the cause
