These are the words
   but not the truth
   god bless them all
   when they speak to you
  
   but that's all right
   on an empty stages
   sing out when
   there's no other way
  
   come drift the town
   where secrets lie
   where friends and neighbours
   keep drifting by
  
   but that's all right
   you're here to stay
   sing out tonight
   the empty page
  
   I always thought I'd see
   your name in flashing light
   you did it all for free girl
   and freely ripped the night
   (your free to fight)
  
   these are the words
   but not the truth
   god bless them all
   when they speak to you
  
   but that's all right
   you're here to stay
   sing out tonight
   the empty page
  
   do you remember the time
   when you were new in town
   you smashed your head in the mirror baby
   and kissed the frozen ground
