Empty Time - The Suicide Machines

Empty streets and empty hearts

Empty cars and empty bars

Empty malls and empty minds

It’s 15 minutes past midnight

You’ve seen me come and you’ve seen me go

My time here is not so disposable

We used to be as thick as thieves

But now you’re just a distant memory

The past is gone

Right or wrong

I let it go

I carry on

Empty streets and empty hearts

Empty cars and empty bars

Empty malls and empty minds

It’s 15 minutes past midnight

No time for love and it just ain’t right

No time for hate, no sleep tonight

No time for you.

I can see it in your eyes

Broken hearts are blue and I’m leaving you behind

The past is gone

Right or wrong

I let it go

I carry on

If these streets could talk they’d sell you out

If these bars could walk they’d limp to sober up

If these cars could start then you still would go nowhere

If my heart would work I’d tear it out right here

Doing cocaine in the bathroom stalls

In 1995 I could read the writing on the walls

Stuck in the small hours on the west side

They’re fucked in the malls and they’re fucked in their minds

Empty time

Empty night

Empty time
