lyrics

Earthquake Emily goes to work, her punters all online
Fantasy to reality, five grand every time.
Matty works the landings when Peter’s down the block
Marie got clean and saved herself, now Jesus is her rock
Me? I’m in the hospital, reading Requiem for a Dream
The doctors have no faces, as they send me off to sleep.

I look into your eyes and all the things you have seen
The heartache and the joy and all the places you have been.

I miss shooting the breeze with ‘Donny Chris and not very well Michelle
He saved my life on City Rd, plucked me up, straight from hell
Page three Julie disappeared, but I heard that she survived,
So many names and faces some still here, some have died
Me? I’m in the hospital, reading Requiem for a Dream
The doctor smile so sweetly, says her name is Emily.

You look into my eyes and witness all the things I’ve seen
The heartache and the joy and all the places that I’ve been.

Earthquake Emily can’t fall in love,
Her hearts been turned to stone.
Her bed is never empty but
She always feels alone.
Me? I’m in the hospital, reading Requiem for a Dream
