Lonely Town

Every night
You whine about the rain, yeah
And you cry
On every single shoulder come your way, yeah, yeah
A-get your serotonin
I know where this is going, yeah
At least your ten cents'
Just like getting paid, yeah, yeah, yeah

And you walk
Where you should run away, yeah, yeah, yeah
To your talking mirror
That will always bring you pain, yeah, yeah
What the hell you thinkin'?
Get yourself a shrink, and, yeah
A-maybe you'll be better off some day
Yeah, yeah, yeah

And you've got your head in the clouds
In your sand castle, wearing the crown, and
And now you're finding
That all this climbing up's for naught
You're the king of Lonely Town

So you find
A throne without a king
And you ride
That wave, and it devours everything, yeah, yeah
A-desperately cling on, to your
Narcissistic kingdom
Tell yourself it isn't crumbling
Oh, oh, oh

And you lost
Yourself in playing God
And it cost
You all the self-awareness that you've got, yeah, yeah
Get your cult assembled
Build yourself a temple, to the
Hand-held religion that we're taught
Oh, oh, oh

And you've got your head in the clouds
In your sand castle, wearing the crown, and
And now you're finding
That all this climbing up's for naught
You're the king of Lonely Town

Don't be fooled by shining light
Kid, this shit ain't worth the hype
Down this road a couple times
Gotta get this off my chest, yeah
Simple boy in fancy clothes
Hollow while the spotlight glows
It's yourself that you don't know
The human brain was never trained
To pass this ugly test

And you've got your head in the clouds
In your sand castle, wearing the crown, and
And now you're finding
That all this climbing up's for naught
You're the king...

Got your head in the clouds
In your sand castle, wearing the crown, and
And now you're finding
That all this climbing up's for naught
You're the king of Lonely Town
