Big Empty Lyrics

Took you long enough to guess that

Wondered if you thought at all

Still the honest man would have to tip his hat

To any swine who could truly pull if off

Lately I tip my hat a lot

And I was warned that you would be there

That there would be a splendid mess

The mutual friends were none the wiser

And hadn't thought ahead

Made the rounds and said goodbye

I've got bigger fish to die for

In this great big empty

Dry spot far beyond all quenching

Every morning eye is caked

Against the membrane of the day

Like the insect when it's trapped

Beats itself against the glass

I guess it had to come to this big empty

What was said became a mish-mash

What'd she say about her new action

Over rolling crust of lips

A languid ventilation lifts

Little parascopic heads

What you see is who you get

To fill the great big empty

Never mind what I am thinking

By the warm and lucid rush

By the heart of frozen blood

Made the rows that are the accidents

Happening on purpose

When it fits into this great big empty

I packed my bags for a lengthy stay in a tropical place

I couldn't keep myself contained

So, it's official we're ignoring monumental consequences

We just can't erase

I love you more when you're away

And when you're gone I walk the floors

I've got duties to ignore

Every morning I awake in the middle of the day

Every morning I'm still dumb enough to hope and pray

That this begins a never ending

Great big empty

Took you long enough to catch that

I needed putting in my place

The mutual friends are getting wiser

About looking for mistakes

And the harder knocks you take

The less you feel when you wake up

In this great big empty dry spot

That my throat is drinking

Every morning, eye conceals

What the night before reveals

By the mumble and the spiel

By the way your fate is sealed

And it fits into this great big empty
