These are the words but not the truth   God bless them all when they speak to you   But that's alright   On an empty stage   Sing out when   There's no other way      Come drift the town where secrets lie   Where friends and neighbours keep drifting by   But that's alright   You're here to stay   Sing out tonight   The empty page      I always thought I'd see   Your name in flashing light   You did it all for free, girl   And freely ripped the night   You're free to fight      These are the words but not the truth   God bless them all when they speak to you   But that's alright   You're here to stay   Sing out tonight   The empty page      Do you remember the time   When you were new in town   You smashed your head in the mirror, baby   And kissed the frozen ground   Yr ripped up sound      The empty page has wasted down   The empty page is ripped   The empty page will waste this town   The empty page has slipped
