Better Than Ezra - Hollow lyrics

rate me

Well they say your life was marked

And you were wondering if it would ever start

Stop

Sunlight on a razor blade

Three different souls

And the lives they made

I grew up in the 80's

In the pallisades

I was listening to Devo

And everybody catered to their needs

All voted most likely to succeed

Holly came out

And Billy got paid

But Jenny got pregnant the first time she got laid

All my rage

Sits inside

When even the finest things

Are leaving you hollow

And all my days

Left behind

And even the finest things

Are leaving you hollow

Cut to an interior view

Holly married well but so did you

One was black one was blue

I was watching the days go by

Could you be seen in a silly dream

Where Billy lives on Prozac and nicotine

Holly got her GED living in maternity

Nursing her broken heart for the love she lost

All my rage

Sits inside

When even the finest things

Are leaving you hollow

And all my days

Left behind

And even the finest things

Are leaving you hollow

And the sky is blue

And so are you

Mary takes a drag off a cigarette

And the stereo is coming up behind her

Like she needs someone to remind her

That life is richer in a minor key

Bill and Holly disagree

But I don't think so

All my rage

Sits inside

When even the finest things

Are leaving you hollow

And all my days

Left behind

And even the finest things

Are leaving you hollow

Sunlight on a razor blade

Three different souls and the lives they made

Well Holly came out and Billy got paid

But Jenny got pregnant the first time she got laid
