[00:01.24]Well the cans on the sidewalk
[00:04.72]They ain't worth kickin'
[00:06.46]The street lights are broke up
[00:09.18]And they keep on flickerin'
[00:13.46]You step on a crack
[00:16.39]She ain't coming back
[00:18.27]Even a blind man could likely see that
[00:23.65]And these streets are empty
[00:26.38]Except for the dark
[00:29.04]They've locked up the gates
[00:34.52]And closed down the parks
[00:35.52]And the soda machine
[00:39.19]At Charlotte and Queen
[00:41.77]It's as empty as my heart
[00:47.14]And the lights of the diner
[00:53.46]Even seem brighter
[00:55.35]When she's not there
[00:58.94]To turn down the shine
[01:01.00]She was right all along
[01:03.46]The coffee's too strong
[01:07.01]I wouldn't need any
[01:09.98]If she was still mine
[01:12.53]And they bandaged the windows
[01:17.08]And stolen the cars
[01:19.71]And the hookers on Main Street
[01:23.44]Don't care who you are
[01:25.72]And the soda machine
[01:29.11]At Charlotte and Queen
[01:31.66]It's as empty as my heart
[01:38.76]Well I banged and I kicked it
[02:04.95]From the front and the side
[02:07.61]I checked to make sure
[02:10.98]That my change was right
[02:14.02]Oh I wasn't that thirsty
[02:15.70]But I wasn't that smart
[02:18.53]Cause the next thing you know
[02:21.22]It's broken in parts
[02:24.97]And the soda machine
[02:28.39]At Charlotte and Queen
[02:30.90]It's as empty as my heart
[02:34.80]🎵
