Lonely Town
He's the mayor of Lonely Town, population one
Population one
Staring a hole in the ground, staring at the sun (oh, woh)
And I'm starting to feel like he might be real
Like he's something I might become
Running for mayor of Lonely Town, population: one
See the mayor of Lonely Town standing in the square
At the county fair
Shouting his message out, but there's no one there
Oh, there
And the silence surrounds but he's lost in the sound
Of their army of fifes and drums
Marching for mayor of Lonely Town, population one
If you want to go to Lonely Town
Just pay the fare
Unless you're with me, then you'll get in for free, 'cause, baby
I know the mayor
No one seems to want to be near
They all run away
But deep inside, a song you can hear
Calling out your name
Well the mayor of Lonely Town, tucking into bed (oh)
What's inside his head
Visions of sugarplums and loneliness, oh, yes
Now we've all got to be what we want to be
But that doesn't seem quite so fun
To be the mayor of Lonely Town, population
Staring a hole in the ground, population
Mayor of Lonely Town, population one
Population one
Staring a hole in the ground, staring at the sun (oh, woh)
And I'm starting to feel like he might be real
Like he's something I might become
Running for mayor of Lonely Town, population: one
See the mayor of Lonely Town standing in the square
At the county fair
Shouting his message out, but there's no one there
Oh, there
And the silence surrounds but he's lost in the sound
Of their army of fifes and drums
Marching for mayor of Lonely Town, population one
If you want to go to Lonely Town
Just pay the fare
Unless you're with me, then you'll get in for free, 'cause, baby
I know the mayor
No one seems to want to be near
They all run away
But deep inside, a song you can hear
Calling out your name
Well the mayor of Lonely Town, tucking into bed (oh)
What's inside his head
Visions of sugarplums and loneliness, oh, yes
Now we've all got to be what we want to be
But that doesn't seem quite so fun
To be the mayor of Lonely Town, population
Staring a hole in the ground, population
Mayor of Lonely Town, population one
