Emily lived in this town

Seems it was getting her down

Filled up a suitcase with clothes

Where she went no-one knows (there she goes)



She didn't wait to explain

She had to rush for her 'plane

She's seen the earth from the sky

And she waved it bye-bye

Bye-bye, love



Oh to be like Emily

Out of sight and really free

Follow your heart she says

Follow the stars she says

She's the girl we'd love to be

Oh to be like Emily



Emily lived on her nerves

Stealing the gold she deserves

Sparkling a thousand fires bright

Like the red sky at night

Headful of crazy ideas

Heartful of rhyme no-one hears

It's up to her to decide

whether she'll seek or hide
