Empties

Taking empties out to the trail

Breaking bottles in the sewage drain

Time to pack it all up and sink

To the bottom of a two-foot creek

Save me from my dreams

They're holding me back

I think I must have made a big mistake

I'm on the wrong track

My heart's been pounding at the back of my head

Begging, oh lady, won't you let me in

Before you close up shopping

And you're nowhere again

Taking empties out to the trail

Breaking bottles in the sewage drain

Time to pack it all up and sink

To the bottom of a two-foot creek

Save me from my dreams

They're holding me back

I think I must have made a big mistake

I'm on the wrong track

My throat's been choking on a piece of my mind

Begging, oh lady, just leave it behind

If you give it a minute, then you will find

It's the wrong place, it's the wrong time

Oh, I've been drinking all the empties out

To the muddy black water beside my house

And when I know no one's around

I'm screaming out loud that I'm nowhere now

I'm nowhere near

I'm nowhere near

Nowhere near

I'm nowhere near

Nowhere near

I'm nowhere near
