Lonely One |
| You get your love from dogs and cats |
| You’ve found in the neighborhood |
| And animal love is good |
| You haven’t got a girl |
| You’re scared of the world |
| No, you don’t want a lover, you want a mother |
| Yes, you read all the overground books |
| You have quite an intellectual look |
| But are you an artist? |
| Ae you a book or just a cover? |
| Lonely One, you make me feel |
| I’m the only one to know that you’re not real |
| Lonely One, turned down thumbs on the world |
| So you say you’re an artist with a tormented soul |
| Your heroes have left for the Hollywood Bowl |
| Sour grapes, come here |
| You say you never really cared |
| Don’t you see, you’re just like him and me |
| Ah, but you’re a pillar of society |
| And you are good |
| Do all that Big Brother says you should |
| All of your friends, they need a boss |
| Someone to help them onto the cross |
| Now don’tcha like being somebody’s punishment? |
| It makes you feel needed |
| Lonely One, you make me feel |
| I’m the only one to know that you’re not real |
| Lonely One, turned down thumbs on the world |
| And though you’re alone, you say it will pass |
| You stuff your head with all your grass |
| It wouldn’t be so bad, if that weren’t all you had |
| You’ve never seen the lady laugh |
| Lonely One, don’t you wish you had |
| Been a four-star general, just like Captain America |
| You go to bed each night, your arms wrapped 'round a pillow |
| Dreaming of becoming tomorrow’s superhero |
| Rose-colored glasses — I wish you had them |
| At least you would see me |
| Lonely One, you make me feel |
| I’m the only one to know that you’re not real |
| Lonely One, turned down thumbs on the world |
