Empire Falls lyrics Lyrics

song lyrics Empire Falls lyrics 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 eyes. I 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 killed. I ll follow that car down to Boston, and ask what it wanted in Maine. Coffee at least for my trouble, and I ll be a hero if I came back with something to say . . . Too 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 disrepair, but I m not taking apple pie eating, Jack and Coke drinking, hopeful lie telling, anywhere, America, through camera eyes, On a Hollywood body that could make you all cry. Maybe 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 real. song lyrics
