Verse 1
Emily Chambers would make it pay
Everyone knew she'd turn out that way
She turned her back and she'll be O.K
But she's not O.K at all
Verse 2
Every night with the radio on (2nd time round 'with the lamp light on')
Emily fears that the day won't come
The moon is there to do her harm
She's not alright at all
Chorus
Don't get arrested, don't buy a machine gun,
You're not on the run and you're not on the scene.
You're not so cool and you're not a jerk,
You may be a villain but no Patty Hearst
You're Emily Chambers and what's worse
Is a whipping wind and a box in a hearse.
And a trigger in your head and a pen in your hand,
And the pain in the verse and the flat drying land,
And the thin of the air and a pain that hurts
You're Emily Chambers in the universe, oh, oh
REPEAT VERSES 1 & 2
Chorus
Outro
Repeat to fade)
Emily Chambers would make it pay
Everyone knew she'd turn out that way
