Theres an empty shell inside When you overrate yourself with pride Chances are your feelings only ride And it's got you locked inside All the easy answers complicate your mind Chances are your feelings only ride... ride There are feelings left behind When theres never someone on your side Looking for a friendship to confide And it's got you locked inside All the easy answers complicate your mind Chances are your feelings only ride... ride Could it be you found out when you lied All along the time 'twas glory caught your eye And led you to believe it, now you know You know the feeling that you never could let go Theres an empty shell inside When you overrate yourself with pride Chances are your feelings only ride And it's got you locked inside All the easy answers complicate your mind Chances are your feelings only ride... ride

 


WEBMISTRESS speculates:

Donated by Fritz bandmember and songwriter Javier Pacheco, this song was recorded at Fremont High School in Mountain View in 1968. For other Fritz music downloads, check out Flames of Frustration on this site, or check out The Penguin. The disclaimer is a modification of the one on that site.

 

SONGWRITER JAVIER PACHECO notes:

Note Lindsey's sarcasm when he introduces EmptyShell. Some friends had just made it to the gig (at the end of Born to Be Wild) and we wanted them to hear the new song, regardless of the crowd there. The song was so new when we did it that Lindsey hadn't properly learned all the lyrics, so he just sang what he remembered.
