Well, as it happens, the talks have broken down

I don't know where her head's at, but her body's still around

It's tiptoe, egg shells, don't step on the cracks

When she walks out the door is she ever coming back

It gets so quiet, it gets so still

You wish she'd break something, but you know she never will

If it's true that the eyes are the mirror of the soul

Then hers is hard and cold and completely in control of yours

Hey, hey, it's so empty inside

Hey, hey, she leaves you terrified

Hey, hey, that's the second time you've cried

Hey, hey, she leaves you terrified

She looks at your face and sees you're thirsty for a shake

So she slithers over you like a cool smooth snake

It's sound and fury, that ends without a kiss

And you know down deep you can't live without this

There's nothing for her, she gets you off and goes to work

Leaves you panting in bed, feeling like a jerk

You put on your glasses, haul up your ass

and take a walk to the corner saloon (you buffoon)

Hey, hey, it's so empty inside

Hey, hey, she leaves you terrified

Hey, hey, that's the third time you've cried

Hey, hey, she leaves you terrified

You can sleep till noon, you can drink out of her shoe

Run your fingers through her clothes, spray yourself with her perfume

And you'll never know, never know, man I never know

What to do, what I do to make you come unglued

Hey, hey, it's so empty inside

Hey, hey, she leaves me terrified

Hey, hey, that's the fourth time I cried

Hey, hey, she leaves me terrified
