Thomas Dolby Follow

Some nights he's weightless
He has to travel
His mouth is gravel
And there's and empty feeling within his heart

Eye on the fuel gauge
Westchester thruway
That triple octane
Won't contain the empty feeling in Dolby's heart

Same old insecurity
Strap him into his car seat
And a sump started leaking
All over New Jersey
Gas stations everywhere,
Not one drop to fill me

Bug hunk of carrot cake
Blueberry milkshake
Fistful of coldrex
Won't fix the empty feeling in Lizzy's heart

So she flicks on the TV
Takes in a movie
But all those memories
Won't erase the empty feeling from in her heart

Then a dog woke inside her head
To watch the explosion
And a pipe started leaking
As she bent to the basin
Fruit juice everywhere,
Not one drop to fill me

"You could be the one," she whispered
"Listen - love is all you've ever wanted,
All you'll ever need."

End of our summer
Your body weightless in condensation
My heart learned to swim
And the feeling was gone again
