You're lonely, living lasts too long
Modern life is no place for you
And everything is wrong

Why worry? There's so much you can do
Just wait for the big sleep to call you
You'll make tomorrow's news

But oh, when you're empty, you blow it away
When life is not on your side, for time you must pray

There's laughter and maybe they're laughing at you
Imprisoned, wizened visions of youth
They're sometimes trapped in you

You're living, but why you cannot say
Those rituals, chat shows, slumbers through days
Will hide your death-warmed face

But oh, when you're empty, you blow it away
When life is not on your side, for time you must pray
But oh, when you're empty, you blow it away
When life is not on your side, for time you must pray
