Emily
Emily is tired–seven hours on a skateboard going eastHeaded up with no sleep A fog is rolling in and Emily is tiredSwimming in the pools of promises she knows she can't keepAnd she tells herself that this is temporaryTurns her head as she rumbles past her old streetAnd the sky is like a blanketHills are ragged edges and the air is sweetThat should keep you goingThat should hold you thereMaybe this will cheer you, EmilySomeone around here canStepping off a train, suddenly she is back againNobody is here nowShe thinks maybe she oughta find a hotel and book a roomThen she never really knew howAnd the buildings are the sameThe walls of glass, the neon signs across the bridge hereBut Emily sees dogs and snakesHey Emily, come 'ere, smell your fearJust what now is needed?Letras de cancionesJust to hold you thereMaybe this will cheer you, EmilyNo one has it fairNo one noticed when she hit the groundSometimes evening is a lonely placeCould anybody even understand the thoughtsThat sit and moan behind that faceAnd Emily's been here for yearsPreyed upon, ignored, abused, and now erasedOld maids and orphans, fools and princes wait for EmilyBe amazedCause in the end they couldn'tEven hold you thereAnd maybe this will cheer you, EmilyYou're missing everywhereOh Emily, missing everywhereOh Emily, missing everywhere
