Emily shrugs and drags her heels as she takes the guided tour It seemed like such an amazing deal when she was looking at the brochure Stuck on a bus with strangers wishing she could be ay home with me Poor little Emily how does it feel to be free Lyin' in bed the pain in my head from running around all day Tryin' to find what was rightfully mine but I ran out of things to say Runnin' around with strangers wishing she could run away with me Poor little Emily how does it feel to be free from familiar fingertips to a persecuted grip from the pan into the fire now a thread becomes a wire under which you must crawl through a ditch and over the wall Emily works her fingers right down to her aching bones while my aching head's got me stuck in bed working on being alone Working around the clock wishing she had worked it out with me Poor little Emily how does it feel to be free Poor little Emily how does it feel to be free Poor little Emily how does it feel to be free
