lyrics

EMPTY CUP

My friend came off the stage
where she played a new song
And asked me, "What do you think?"
Before I formed a sentence
you gave your two cents
But, brother, I had to agree
She could've made changes
to some of them chords
and give us a little surprise
But, as I was waxing
about Steely Dan,
you just started rolling your eyes

A sip away from an empty cup
Just one drag to a cigarette butt
You don't understand so listen up
You're just one sip to an empty cup

So, come on, tell us which notes
Are they low? Are they high?
Give us your expert take
From what I hear you mumble,
your opinion is in trouble
It can't be that hard to explain
It sounds like you have not
been studying hard
but, son, I can tell you I have
So, next time you're lacking
in clear understanding,
just sit down and put up your hand

You're a sip away from an empty cup
Just one drag to a cigarette butt
You don't understand so listen up
You're just one sip to an empty cup

It's a painful truth

You're a sip away from an empty cup
Just one drag to a cigarette butt
You don't understand so listen up
You're just one sip to an empty cup

You're a sip away from an empty cup
Just one drag to a cigarette butt
You don't understand so listen up
You're just one sip to an empty cup
