IF THIS ISN'T LONELY

SHADES PULLED DOWN - NO ONE AROUND
AND I KNOW I'M FEELING OLD AND WORN OUT
STAY OFF THE PHONE - AND I'M ALWAYS ALONE
ALL THIS TELEVISION BORES ME

SOMEHOW I SHOULD LOOK ENOUGH
TO REMEMBER WHICH WAY IS UP
AND I WOULDN'T WISH THIS THING ON YOU
CAUSE I KNOW YOU'RE NOT THAT TOUGH

IF THIS ISN'T LONELY THAN I DON'T KNOW WHAT IS

I SLEEP ON THE COUCH - I NEVER GO OUT
MY CONDITION ISN'T PHONY
AND NOW I LOCK ALL THE DOORS - I'M UP PAST FOUR
WITH A BRAND NEW PARANOIA

SOMEHOW I SHOULD LOOK ENOUGH
TO REMEMBER WHICH WAY IS UP
AND I WOULDN'T WISH THIS THING ON ME
CAUSE YOU KNOW I'M NOT THAT TOUGH

IF THIS ISN'T LONELY THAN I DON'T KNOW WHAT IS

I FORGET TO EAT - SLEEP HALF THE WEEK
COULDN'T CARE LESS 'BOUT THE MORNING
SHADES PULLED DOWN - NO ONE AROUND
AND I KNOW I'M FEELING OLD AND WORN OUT
