Bucky Covington

Empty Handed
He's a mover he's a shaker he's a real money maker Spit shine on his alligator shoes Nobody's knowin' He's headin' straight for ruin And he doesn't even have a clue The Harlem man Hadn't asked where it's all happened He's got a window on the 32nd floor Whoever would have thought It turns out all he ever wanted Ain't the thing he was lookin' floor Sometimes he wishes that the wish wasn't granted Wonderin' how he ever got this enchanted Holdin' onto the good life He can't stand it Everybody leaves here empty handed The smalltown beauty queen Livin' on amphetamines Hangin' in the Hollywood hills Got herself famous in the city of the angels With the help of the devil and the pills Now daddy was a preacher SongtexteEven Jesus couldn't reach her She's a victim of another disease She's done a lot of ?? And she's had a lot of surgery Searchin' for what she needs Sometimes she wishes that the wish wasn't granted Wonderin' how she ever got this enchanted Holdin' onto the good life And she can't stand it Everybody leaves here empty handed Well the cold hard truth It's up to you So if you ever wish that your wish wasn't granted Wonderin' how you ever got this enchanted Holdin onto the good life But you can't stand it Well everybody leaves here empty handed Empty handed Empty handed Well everybody leaves here empty handed Aus Songtexte Mania
