i ve got a plan for my demons i m gonna meet them in the morning we ll televise it like a fight hey ll never know the fix is in i ll take a fall in the first round get my lips split landin face down never bet against your sins i ve got a plan for my best friends i m gonna tell them that i m leavin packin up all my loose ends with a suitcase and guitar i always make it to the taxi with my bags packed in the backseat but i never get too far from that lonesome feelin of a hollow chest the cage is empty all the songbirds left the credits rollin oh the screen went dark and i lost my heart i ve been puttin on a brave face when i say grace every evenin holdin faith like a hostage till i lost it one night now i m at the bedside with the shades drawn and my hands tied no it never takes long that lonesome feelin of a hollow chest the cage is empty all the songbirds left the a waiting oh they them apart and i lost my heart i lost my heart i cut a hole in the window where my dreams go in the morning settle down on the sidewalk like a fine chalk dust still my lover s havin nightmares as she lies there right beside me she s never far enough from that lonesome feelin of a hollow chest the cage is empty all the songbirds left don t you worry don t you lose your heart i will sing their part i will sing their part i will sing their part
