Emptiness is a Mule

There’s a place I call home, it isn’t there anymore

Once upon a crime, with the radio on I was trampled underfoot
By the prince far guard
Broadcasting to your living room two miles from Bangladesh
I will walk your rope without that safety net
This member is dismembered
But who still remembers that we’re all pretenders

Motel coffin deposit
Down out on 6th street
A la Japan, A la Japan

Watch your step (because the mule is on empty)
Because the mule is on empty (because the mule is free)
Watch your step (because the mule is on empty)
Because the mule is on empty (because the mule is free)

Fifth time on the mission her volcano erupted
No respect equals embarrassment
Testosterone coward
I’m ashamed to be a pig amongst the pork that fights the war
Against the wounded and disabled
The life I’ve encountered, encountered

Motel coffin deposit
Down out on 6th street
A la Japan, A la Japan

Watch your step (because the mule is on empty)
Because the mule is on empty (because the mule is free)
Watch your step (because the mule is on empty)
Because the mule is on empty (because the mule is free)

Take the time don’t you hold your breath
‘Cause as the years pass by we turn blue
You can’t be absolute within the obsolete
So don’t whisper and murmur like a fool
Pick a card from the shuffling board
But all your kings and queens are gone
So how the hell do you expect to swim in all your filthy cesspool of psalms

Down out on 6th street
A la Japan, A la Japan

Watch your step (because the mule is on empty)
Because the mule is on empty (because the mule is free)
Watch your step (because the mule is on empty)
Because the mule is on empty (because the mule is free)

Watch your step, because the mule is on empty, because the mule is on empty
Because the mule is free

Watch your step, because the mule is on empty, because the mule is free
Watch your step, because the mule is on empty, because the mule is free
