Galaxy of Emptiness Lyrics by Beth Orton

Trailer Park

1996

[Verse 1]
The stars light a sky on a galaxy of emptiness tonight
Though I'm happiest when there's no reason for me to be
With no-one's expectation to weigh heavy on my heart
And so much hope, it sometimes tears me all apart
Won't you please knock me off my feet for a while?
Could you please knock me off my feet for a while?

[Chorus]
'Cause there's a galaxy of emptiness tonight
A whole galaxy of emptiness tonight
There's a galaxy of emptiness
A galaxy of emptiness

[Verse 2]
The stars light a sky on a gutter full of broken dreams tonight
Though I'm not content, that's the way it seems to be
Still, I've been fighting all week, though I don't know what for
Hoping someone else somewhere near knows the score
Could you please knock me off my feet for a while?
Could you please knock me off my feet for a while?

[Chorus]
And there's a galaxy of emptiness tonight
A whole galaxy of emptiness tonight
There's a galaxy of emptiness
A whole galaxy of emptiness

[Verse 3]
Monkey see, monkey do
I spent my whole life surrounded by people like you
With all that expectation to weigh heavy on your heart
But no ideas to later tear it all apart
Won't you please knock me off my feet for a while?
Could you please knock me off my feet for a while?

[Chorus]
'Cause there's a galaxy of emptiness tonight
A whole wide galaxy of emptiness tonight
Beware the galaxy of emptiness
There's a galaxy of emptiness
A whole wide galaxy of emptiness tonight
Yeah, there's a galaxy of emptiness
A whole wide galaxy of emptiness
Beware the galaxy of emptiness

[Outro]
(A galaxy of emptiness)
(A whole galaxy of stars)
