Wall Of Voodoo - Empty Room lyrics

rate me

it's the human thing to do

On this life-like stage,

we act a play,

well that's so human too

Why don't you drink

from my ruby red glass?

Why don't you drink

from my ruby glass?

An unlit corner

in the world alone...

what shall we do?

Now I'm thinking less

of pain and lies

and I'm thinking more of you...

And I'm thinking more of you...

The empty room-

upon a black floor

come on and fill this glass.

Forget this life

and lock the door.

Give me violets

and vine tonight.

From this night on

we'll be alright

'til empty falls the ruby glass

I'm thinking less,

but I'm thinking more of you

thinking more of you,

thinking more of you.

Life is short,

and you're the sort that

turns a night into a year...

Silently call me close,

say it's the same for you

Why don't you drink

from my ruby red glass?

Why don't you drink

from my ruby glass?

The empty room-

upon a black floor

Give me violets

and vine tonight.

From this night on

we'll be alright

'til empty falls

the ruby glass

I'm thinking less,

but I'm thinking more of you

thinking more of you,

thinking more of you.
