Well the cans on the sidewalkThey ain't worth kickin'The street lights are broke upAnd they keep on flickerin'You step on a crackShe ain't coming backEven a blind man could likely see thatAnd these streets are emptyExcept for the darkThey've locked up the gatesAnd closed down the parksAnd the soda machine At Charlotte and QueenIt's as empty as my heartAnd the lights of the dinersEven seem brighterWhen she's not thereTo turn down the shineShe was right all alongThe coffee's too strongI wouldn't need anyIf she was still mineAnd they bandaged the windowsAnd stolen the carsAnd the hookers on Main Street Don't care who you areAnd the soda machine At Charlotte and QueenIt's as empty as my heartWell I banged and I kicked itFrom the front and the sideI checked to make sureThat my change was rightOh I wasn't that thirstyBut I wasn't that smartCause the next thing you knowIt's broken in partsAnd the soda machineAt Charlotte and Queen It's as empty as my heart
