EMPTY HOUSE
Can anyone hear me?
Is the microphone on?
Can anyone feel me?
Is my timing all wrong?
I told a joke but you've already heard it
When did I become the punchline?
Oh baby, meet me in a better dream
15 minutes in the spotlight
Or a lifetime in the cheap seats
Can anyone see me?
Is the camera on?
Can anyone feel me?
Is the lighting all wrong?
I told a joke but no one found it funny
Or did I fuck up the punchline?
TV keep me company
15 minutes in the spotlight
Or a lifetime of commercials
I'll never check the time
That way I'll never grow old
One day I'll lay down and die
And do it all again
You know I love to learn the hard way
The lights are on but there's nobody home
I'll never speak my mind
That way I'll never be wrong
One day I'll read 'em and weep
And do it all again
You know I love to learn the hard way
The lights are on but there's nobody home
Oh empty house
I feel like you
Get out of bed
And play along
Oh empty house
It hurts to laugh
I'll poke the bruise
It feels so good
Can you see from the nosebleeds?
I put a smile on
Turn on the spotlight
Watch me pretend
Hold the applause
The show must go on
I'll get the last laugh
When I blow my brains out
Is the microphone on?
Can anyone feel me?
Is my timing all wrong?
I told a joke but you've already heard it
When did I become the punchline?
Oh baby, meet me in a better dream
15 minutes in the spotlight
Or a lifetime in the cheap seats
Can anyone see me?
Is the camera on?
Can anyone feel me?
Is the lighting all wrong?
I told a joke but no one found it funny
Or did I fuck up the punchline?
TV keep me company
15 minutes in the spotlight
Or a lifetime of commercials
I'll never check the time
That way I'll never grow old
One day I'll lay down and die
And do it all again
You know I love to learn the hard way
The lights are on but there's nobody home
I'll never speak my mind
That way I'll never be wrong
One day I'll read 'em and weep
And do it all again
You know I love to learn the hard way
The lights are on but there's nobody home
Oh empty house
I feel like you
Get out of bed
And play along
Oh empty house
It hurts to laugh
I'll poke the bruise
It feels so good
Can you see from the nosebleeds?
I put a smile on
Turn on the spotlight
Watch me pretend
Hold the applause
The show must go on
I'll get the last laugh
When I blow my brains out
