Vacuum

I was crying on the cold tile when you held me
Some hysteria, built a barrier in the family
Calming me down with a spoon
Always fighting till you're threadbare, when we slept in
The only building on the high street to withstand it

What did we have to lose?
Always
Always this and always us, and always London

I had nothing
Then I found you, I
Built an empire
In a vacuum
Made you loyal to
What I couldn't prove
Just to have you
Just to have you

Chewing laurel, road to Delphi in a dustbowl
Taxi driver throwing candy out the window
His bad divorces, convalesce in Scientology
Empty houses, new sepulchres of economy

Where do we land in it all?
Going to ask
The oracle

I had nothing
Then I found you, I
Built an empire
In a vacuum
Made you loyal to
What I couldn't prove
Just to have you
Just to have you
Just to have you

I had nothing
Then I found you
