Emily Chambers Lyrics

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...
