Hollow Years
Beatniks, bodybags in my way
It's a death that's worse than fate some say
My love, my clothes in disarray
But I'm building up to a slow decay
They're back-slapping gun-toting looking hard
Comparing the colors of their credit cards
Come from all around to sell the trash they've bought
They wanna stop your world 'cause they're not getting off
In a spaghetti Western I'm on the sauce
Accepting the place I'm put
Blast around the bend in a blaze of light
Only to shoot myself in the foot
When they say turn around
But don't look back now
Speak your heart till someone hears
Grab the hand that'll never feel
Don't wanna waste my time in these
Hollow years
It's a long time gone though I reminisce
Fifteen years on a smile and a kiss
And I'll spit in the face of reality
When your eyes light up inside of me
Now the doorknobs turn too easily
The carpets come too clean
Promises feel like polyester
Lies like velveteen
When they say turn around
But don't look back now
Speak your heart till someone hears
Grab the hand that'll never feel
Don't wanna waste my time in these
Hollow years
Take me to the hospital
I've been dead for far too long
The truth will out and let us in
In time we will defeat the din
Together or alone I guess
This memory of you I'll bless
I'll be falling to the ceiling
Jumping to the floor
Kneeling to the neon
But always wanting more
When they say turn around
But don't look back now
Speak your heart till someone hears
Grab the hand that'll never feel
Don't wanna waste my time in these
Hollow years
Don't look back now
Grab the hand that'll never feel
Don't wanna waste my time
It's a death that's worse than fate some say
My love, my clothes in disarray
But I'm building up to a slow decay
They're back-slapping gun-toting looking hard
Comparing the colors of their credit cards
Come from all around to sell the trash they've bought
They wanna stop your world 'cause they're not getting off
In a spaghetti Western I'm on the sauce
Accepting the place I'm put
Blast around the bend in a blaze of light
Only to shoot myself in the foot
When they say turn around
But don't look back now
Speak your heart till someone hears
Grab the hand that'll never feel
Don't wanna waste my time in these
Hollow years
It's a long time gone though I reminisce
Fifteen years on a smile and a kiss
And I'll spit in the face of reality
When your eyes light up inside of me
Now the doorknobs turn too easily
The carpets come too clean
Promises feel like polyester
Lies like velveteen
When they say turn around
But don't look back now
Speak your heart till someone hears
Grab the hand that'll never feel
Don't wanna waste my time in these
Hollow years
Take me to the hospital
I've been dead for far too long
The truth will out and let us in
In time we will defeat the din
Together or alone I guess
This memory of you I'll bless
I'll be falling to the ceiling
Jumping to the floor
Kneeling to the neon
But always wanting more
When they say turn around
But don't look back now
Speak your heart till someone hears
Grab the hand that'll never feel
Don't wanna waste my time in these
Hollow years
Don't look back now
Grab the hand that'll never feel
Don't wanna waste my time
