Emily Chambers

Emily chambers would make it pay
Everyone knew shed turn out that way
She turned her back and shell be okay
But shes not okay at all
Every night with the radio on Emily fears that the day wont come
The moon is there to do her harm
Shes not all right at all
Dont get arrested
Dont buy a machine gun
Youre on the run
And youre not on the scene
Youre not so cool
And youre not a jerk
You may be a villain
But no patty hearst
Youre emily chambers
And whats worse
Is a whipping wind
And a box in a hearse
And a trigger in your head
And a pen in your hand
And the pain in the verse
And the flat drying land
And the thin of the air
And a pain that hurts
Youre emily chambers in the universe
Repeat first verse
Every night with the lamplight on Emily fears that the day has gone
The moon is there to do her harm
Shes not all right at all
Repeat chorus
Emily chambers would make it pay
Everyone knew shed turn out that way…
