Text: Mountain Goats, The. Flashing Lights.

I am wearing a white long sleeve button down

The pink colors behind the clouds tonight

Mirror the softer shades of your nightgown

As the neurotransmitters go crazy inside of me

I swear you're leaving town

Empty promises, empty promises



I am watching the way the wind seems to pass straight through your body

When you run your fingernail along my neck

And you spill some water on me

You say you're as good as gone

Well don't look now but here comes the dawn

Empty promises, empty promises, empty promises
