Empty World Lyrics by The Burning Hell

Garbage Island

2022

[Verse 1]
I wish I could hear the B52s for the very first time again
Ricky and Fred, Kate, Cindy and Keith, forever and ever, Amen
I wish I could remember all the names of the trees
That used to grow at the back of the yard
And listen to the sound of the rain on the leaves
And see a raccoon's eyes light up in the dark

[Refrain]
But it's an empty world
Empty world
Empty world
Empty world

[Verse 2]
I wish I would've learned karate
Or at least thought about learning karate
If I could've trained my body not to laugh at my brain
I could've maybе trained my brain to control my body
I wish I could see the lights come on onе by one in a block of flats
Each little square, well, there's a person in there
And I'd just sit around and think about that

[Refrain]
But it's an empty world
Empty world
Empty world
Empty world

[Bridge]
I miss the sound of karaoke cowboys trying to sing Sweet Caroline
I miss the rides I never rode on, and I even miss the lines
I miss the screaming of the kids on the tilt-a-whirl
Don't want to be in an empty world

[Instrumental Interlude]

[Outro]
I miss the sound of strangers lecturing
Other strangers about their children
I miss the different smells on every floor of my apartment building
I miss the kiss of summer beaches
And the filthy taste of soft-serve swirl
Don't want to be in an empty
Don't want to be in an empty
Don't want to be in an empty world
