Hollow

(album: Villa Elaine - 1998)

It felt like the sun.
We are hollow
Light to the world.
Film star.
Define all the ways
we are hollow
that I am the ghost
and you are song.

So you walk away from me.
Were you ever there?
You were too quick or cold
to believe.
Unbelievable.

You can never fail,
we can never fail,
we can only go down south
in flames and grace you forgot about.

Oooooooooh
We are hollow
Light to the world.
Film star.
Define all the ways
we are hollow
that I am the ghost
and you are song.

Lights that freeze turn
perfect scenes into sorrow.
Don't slip away.
With all the words you had to say,
but you never had a prayer.

But you can never fail.
We can only lose,
we can only come down.

Send them up just to shoot them down.

when i fell out in the traffic
all their voices coming at me
coming on in the street
she was every kind of creature
every twisted up invention of a human face.
we're going in for one more kill
and the sound of their machinery
devoured so many languages
and all of them said
you'd be so ecstatic
to finally be with it
but fools will win the race
so dive back down to your bed

All your strength is about to be found
crawling up out of the ground.
Now play what you wanted to play.
You say what you wanted to say.
You finally found a way...
all of the stars coming down
how did it feel when you hit the ground

It felt like the sun.
We are hollow
Light to the world.
Film star.
Define all the ways
we are hollow
that I am the ghost
and you are song.
