Empire Falls

I envy the quiet lives that for all I know don't exist

Outside of a lazy book that won a Pulitzer prize

I picked up 'cause you said, it opened up your eyesI'm wired now and will be 'til I find a person who could eat at the empire grill

Who's seen a black Mercedes at the textile mill

And spreads the word to all the folks expression hasn't killedI'll follow that car down to Boston ask what it wanted in Maine

Coffee at least for my trouble

I'll be a hero if I came back with something to sayToo late, they wouldn't like me there

And though they might not mind my inquisitive stare

Every single one of them is too polite to care

Why I'm enchanted by a way of life in disrepairI'm not taking apple pie eating, jack and coke drinking

Hopeful, lie telling, anywhere America, camera eyes

On a Hollywood body that could make you all cryMaybe I'll go to the movies, a comedy would be ideal

Something that probably won't happen

'Cause this made up town is much too realI envy the quiet lives that for all I know don't exist

Outside of a lazy book that won a Pulitzer prize

I picked up 'cause you said, it opened up your eyes

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
