lyrics

From her perch upon the barstool
She searches for a friendly face
As every nightmare plays itself out inside her head
And she slouches through the crowd
With her hands down in her pockets
And she wishes she was home instead
An empty corner ain't a bad place to stand
When you know there's no room for you
In anyone else's plans

So she waits for something better
But better never comes
She tries to think of something clever
But clever never comes
So she orders a shot 1,2,3,4,5
It was 11 o'clock and she was feeling alive
Now she's losing control and she's down on the floor
And she's crying like she's never felt this before
Let it all out
Let it all out they say
Then they turn and start walking away

And the head that she came in with
Is off floating someplace else
Oh how she loves this sense of lost control
With her apprehension gone
There's nothing standing in her way
Except the nagging thought that she still isn't whole
An empty corner ain't a bad place to be
When you're holding onto things that
No one else can see

So she waits for something better
But better never comes
She tries to think of something clever
But clever never comes
So she orders a shot 6,7,8,9
It was ten after one and she was feeling alive
Now she's losing control and she's down on the floor
And she's crying like she's never felt this before
Let it all out
Let it all out they say
Then they turn and start walking away
They're walking away.

Elmer and the Ceramic Trees Janesville, Wisconsin

Conceived in the summer of 2012 by Janesville, Wisconsin singer-songwriter Robbie Haas, Elmer and the Ceramic Trees blend the lush melodies of bands like The Beatles and Big Star with the doom-and-gloom pop of The Cure and Echo and The Bunny Men, the driving rhythms of New Order, and the big choruses of Bowie and Arcade Fire to form a style of indie pop that is at once harrowing and gorgeous. ... more
