Beth Orton › Lyrics › Galaxy of Emptiness

Stars light the sky in a galaxy of emptiness tonight
Though I'm happiest when there's no reason for me to be
When no one's expectations do a heavy on my heart
And so much hope it sometimes tears me all apart

Won't you please knock me off my feet for a while?
Could you please knock me off my feet for a while?

'Cause there's a galaxy of emptiness tonight
A whole galaxy of emptiness tonight
There's a galaxy of emptiness
A galaxy of emptiness

Stars light the sky in a gutter full of of broken dreams tonight
Though how not content that's the way it seems to be
Still I've been fightin' all week though I don't know what for
Hopin' someone else, someone you used to score

Could you please knock me off my feet for a while?
Could you please knock me off my feet for a while?

And there's a galaxy of emptiness tonight
A whole galaxy of emptiness tonight
There's a galaxy of emptiness
A whole galaxy of emptiness

Monkey see, monkey do
I spent my whole life surrounded by people like you
With all that expectation do a heavy on your heart
But no ideas to let it tear it all apart

Won't you please knock me off my feet for a while?
Could you please knock me off my feet for a while?

'Cause there's a galaxy of emptiness tonight
A whole wide galaxy of emptiness tonight
A galaxy of emptiness
And there's a galaxy of emptiness

A whole wide galaxy of emptiness tonight
Yeah, there's a galaxy of emptiness
A whole wide galaxy of emptiness
A galaxy of emptiness
