Maximo Park - Karaoke Plays lyrics

You write a list of things to do To occupy the time that you could use But, in my mind its never final And when you sleep, I try not to wake you as I leave… Oh, I waited up for you, but you didn't come back home I waited up for you. Couldn't you come back home? Someone gets run down Karaoke plays Somewhere in the background, But there is no explanation. What makes a grown man cry? Karaoke plays and someone gets run down We never did want the dawn to break Beside the crumpled sheets in which we lay You know I've changed my ways forever The North Sea crashes through your dreams as I leave… Oh, I waited up for you, but you didn't come back home I waited up for you. Couldn't you come back home? Someone gets run down Karaoke plays Somewhere in the background, But there is no explanation. What makes a grown man cry? Karaoke plays and someone gets run down I came home there were radio waves I heard voices through the radio waves I came home there was nowhere to be found. The lights were on, the radio played. I came home, there were radio waves A children's choir through the radio waves Every night we've got so much to say I wanna hear all the things you did today If someone gets run down Karaoke plays Somewhere in the background But there is an explanation What makes a grown man cry? Karaoke plays and someone gets run down
