When Everybody's Gone
I do my best work
Every time I'm left alone
It's not a nice quirk
To only function when nobody else is home
Sometimes I need some
Lengthy breaks from outside people please
But still the outcome
Shows my isolated expertise
Pass the torch, I'll carry on
When everybody's gone
When everybody's gone
When everybody's gone
Stimulation
Overwhelms my ability to hide away
Separation
Is a nice way of saying I won't see you today
Is it a real crime
Taking a few sick weeks if I want to (that's something I want to do)
Would anyone mind
Or respect my choice if I just withdrew
I can work all night, until dawn
When everybody's gone
When everybody's gone
When everybody's gone
How can I feel this way
There's nowhere to go up but down
How can I feel this way
There's nowhere to go for me now
With none around to say
This ship is slowly going down
With none around to say
Stop first before you regret now
All the side doors are locked
There's never a dull moment lost
What more could loners ever want
When everybody's gone
When everybody's gone
You know that everybody's gone
Oh, what can I say, I like it this way
When everybody's gone
Oh, what can I say, I like it this way, I like it this way
When everybody's gone
Every time I'm left alone
It's not a nice quirk
To only function when nobody else is home
Sometimes I need some
Lengthy breaks from outside people please
But still the outcome
Shows my isolated expertise
Pass the torch, I'll carry on
When everybody's gone
When everybody's gone
When everybody's gone
Stimulation
Overwhelms my ability to hide away
Separation
Is a nice way of saying I won't see you today
Is it a real crime
Taking a few sick weeks if I want to (that's something I want to do)
Would anyone mind
Or respect my choice if I just withdrew
I can work all night, until dawn
When everybody's gone
When everybody's gone
When everybody's gone
How can I feel this way
There's nowhere to go up but down
How can I feel this way
There's nowhere to go for me now
With none around to say
This ship is slowly going down
With none around to say
Stop first before you regret now
All the side doors are locked
There's never a dull moment lost
What more could loners ever want
When everybody's gone
When everybody's gone
You know that everybody's gone
Oh, what can I say, I like it this way
When everybody's gone
Oh, what can I say, I like it this way, I like it this way
When everybody's gone
