               Emily waits for the good times
               But the good times never came
               Emily's waited for years now
               But the story stays the same
               Empty faces, empty laughter, empty glasses, empty heads
               Emily waits for her prince to come
               Watching the furniture fade

               Oh and this world turns around on its broken dreams
               Oh it's the loneliest sound down town
               Oh yes this world turns around on its broken dreams
               Oh it's the loneliest sound down town
               A million hearts are bleeding
               With a million tears held dry

               John stays at home with his anger
               He's thinking of killing his friends
               They'll be so sick when he's famous
               They'll think again when he's dead
               Waiting alone with his poetry
               It's kind of "unwritten - unread"
               Cause he likes to act out his neuroses
               By smashing the place up instead

               Oh and this world turns around on its broken dreams
               Oh it's the loneliest sound down town
               Oh yes this world turns around on its broken dreams
               Oh it's the loneliest sound down town
               A million hearts are breathing
               With a million tears held dry

               And every one of us the same
               Yes every one of us the same
               We nurse our broken dreams to sleep each day
               We suffer secret silent days
               We hide ourselves away

               We suffer secret silent days
               We hide ourselves away
