lyrics

Armed with quarters from him mom
He's busy sneaking through the crowd
He grabs a sno-cone from the stand
Blue tongue and sticky mouth

And the crowd reacts to the game
That guy made a spectacular play
And he forgets what he has in hand
And his blue sphere falls down in the sand

And in a moment of panic he takes
His sticky ball of ice off the ground and places it
On top of his cone, despite all the pebbles and trash
'Cause he can't stand to return

Empty-handed
Empty hands

He rolls up to the store
Without a purpose or a need
Somebody told him at the door
There's a sale on aisle 4

And he heads back to the display
The glossy boxes seem to call out his name
And he looks down at what he has in his hands
And can't conceive of a use or a plan

But in moment of panic he takes a few steps a way
From the shelf with ads where perfect models display
Bleached white teeth he heads to the front of the store
With box in hand 'cause he can't go home

Empty-handed
No empty hands
