Emily Chambers would make it pay
Everyone knew she`d turn out that way
She turned her back and she`ll be okay
But she`s not okay at all
Every night with the radio on
Emily fears that the day won`t come
The moon is there to do her harm
She`s not all right at all
Don`t get arrested
Don`t buy a machine gun
You`re on the run
And you`re not on the scene
You`re not so cool
And you`re not a jerk
You may be a villain
But no Patty Hearst
You`re Emily Chambers
And what`s worse
Is a whipping wind
And a box in a hearse
And a trigger in your head
And a pen in your hand
And the pain in the verse
And the flat drying land
And the thin of the air
And a pain that hurts
You`re Emily Chambers in the universe
Repeat first verse
Every night with the lamplight on
Emily fears that the day has gone
The moon is there to do her harm
She`s not all right at all
Repeat chorus
Emily Chambers would make it pay
Everyone knew she`d turn out that way...
