There's an empty house That you sing to and you cling to There's an empty house That you pray in and you stay in I ask you if you need me And you tell me to hold on While you hold out I ask you if you love me And you tell me to stay in While you stay out There's an empty house That you sing to and you cling to There's an empty house That you pray in and you stay in "And if you don't like that version, we're screwed" "No, not really" "well, I'm looking at my paperwork here and it says that you like lemon meringue pies and walking on the beach"
