Got a rhythm band   We were rocking like you could not understand   And the club was getting so out of hand   They went home, you went home   After a round of applause   For no other reason than just because   I can't explain it I just know that she was   Not impressed in the least      And I sing all my songs into microphones   And I do what I do not out of any love for you   And the blood in my veins remains blue   Before and afer it passes through my heart   It makes me feel like crying   To think to think that maybe you're just as empty as I am   Maybe you're just as empty as I am   Maybe you're just as empty as I am   Maybe you're just as empty as I am      All this time spent apart   Is playing tricks upon my mind and my heart   I feel it creeping up the back of my throat   My stomach's in knots and it hurts   If I'm alone on the earth   It stands to reason that I'll just make it worse   I swear to god that I have not heard you curse   Unless you were quoting somebody else      But you can't sing a song   To a telephone   So I call as I see 'em   In the clubs and not the coliseum   And I do what I do   With the sole hope of impressing you   But the blood in my veins remains blue   Before and afer it passes through my heart   It makes me feel like dying   To think to think that maybe you're not as lonely as I am   Maybe you're not as lonely as I am   Maybe you're not as lonely as I am   Maybe you're not as lonely as I am   Maybe you're not as lonely as I am   Maybe you're not as lonely as I am
