Empty Sky 1 - Fourcolor

I'm not a rat to be spat on locked up in this room Those bars that look towards the sun At night look towards the moon Every day, the swallows play in the clouds of love Make me wish that I had wings, take me high above And I looked high and saw the empty sky If I could only, could only fly I'd drift with them in endless space But no man flies from this place At night I lay upon my bench and stare towards the stars The cold night air comes creeping in and home seems, oh, so far If only I could swing upon those twinkling dots above I'd look down from the heavens upon the ones I love And I looked high and saw the empty sky If I could only, I could only fly I'd drift with them in endless space But no man flies from this place (Fly) And I looked high and saw the empty sky If I could only, could only fly I'd drift with them in endless space But no man ever flies from this place, yeah Hey! The lucky locket hangs around your precious neck Some luck I ever got with you and I, I wouldn't like to bet That sooner or later you'll own just one half of this land By shining your eyes on the wealth of every man (Yeah) And I looked high and saw the empty sky If I could only, I could only fly I'd drift with them in endless space But no man flies from this place, fly on Just send up my love, ain't seen nothing but tears Now I've got myself in this room for years I don't see no one, I never see anyone Anyone, ah, yeah

Outside there's a light that shines for the left behind With past regret now at the forefront of your mind Why'd you never make it, how'd you turn this way Can't take it anymore, not one more day! You always forfeit what was right for the easy way One, two, three, four! Feelin'... Cheated! No hope, you're so frustrated! Ever searching out what you can't find You see your life was a game that you just can't win Nobody knows all you've ever seen You ever sit on the sidelines while the world passes you by Still, you wonder why (Woah, oh, oh, oh, oh.) Your life's a glass half empty (Way, oh, oh, woah, oh!) Know what it is, what it could be (Woah, oh, oh, oh, oh.) Always "The world's out to get me What you've earned and want just ain't the same Men on knees, all down in paradise Still want to see you through the sands of time We will be martyring the men on the breeze So sad that life had passed them by (Woah, oh, oh, oh, oh.) Your life's a glass half empty (Way, oh, oh, woah, oh!) Know what it is, what it could be (Woah, oh, oh, oh, oh.) Always "The world's out to get me." What you've earned and want just ain't the same That's where your problems start For the hole that's in your heart Filled up with all the things you've never had Keep screaming "Is it justice that made me?" "Can all the lies betray me?" A victim and a martyr howl these yore But it's just half true (Woah, oh, oh, oh, oh.) Your life's a glass half empty (Way, oh, oh, woah, oh!) Know what it is, what it could be (Woah, oh, oh, oh, oh.) Always "The world's out to get me." What you've earned and want just ain't the same You're the light that shines for the ones who were left behind! (Woah, oh, oh, oh, oh.) Your life's a glass half empty. (Way, oh, oh, woah, oh!) Know what it is, what it could be (Woah, oh, oh, oh, oh.) Always "The world's out to get me." What you've earned and want...
