Lonesome Joe
I know of a man
They call him Lonesome Joe
There may be others like him
But he's the only one of which I know
He is a lonely boy on the verge of giving out his love
If he only had an outlet
A catalyst for needed change
With a feckless silhouette
A closed mouth with an open heart
And a radical mindset
He fails to act when he gets his cue
And he fails to pay when his bills are due
And he doesn't really know what else to do
And so he stays a lonely boy
And he's a bad example
He don't play by his own damn rule
He's a walking contradiction
And an incorrect depiction of himself
And all the things that he swears he tries to be
And he takes even though all he wants to do is give
He lusts even though all he wants to do is love
He dives deep even though he stays on the shore
He holds back when he wants to explore
Who you are and how you want to live
And he wants to get out
He badly wants to break free
But deep down you know he's a coward inside
And getting out will be no cup of tea
And he dreams of how he'll flee
And he's a bad example
He don't play by his own damn rule
He's a walking contradiction
And an incorrect depiction of himself
And all the things that he swears he tries to be
And he takes even though all he wants to do is give
He lusts even though all he wants to do is love
He dives deep even though he stays on the shore
He holds back when he wants to explore
Who you are and how you want to live
I know of a man
They call him Lonesome Joe
They call him Lonesome Joe
There may be others like him
But he's the only one of which I know
He is a lonely boy on the verge of giving out his love
If he only had an outlet
A catalyst for needed change
With a feckless silhouette
A closed mouth with an open heart
And a radical mindset
He fails to act when he gets his cue
And he fails to pay when his bills are due
And he doesn't really know what else to do
And so he stays a lonely boy
And he's a bad example
He don't play by his own damn rule
He's a walking contradiction
And an incorrect depiction of himself
And all the things that he swears he tries to be
And he takes even though all he wants to do is give
He lusts even though all he wants to do is love
He dives deep even though he stays on the shore
He holds back when he wants to explore
Who you are and how you want to live
And he wants to get out
He badly wants to break free
But deep down you know he's a coward inside
And getting out will be no cup of tea
And he dreams of how he'll flee
And he's a bad example
He don't play by his own damn rule
He's a walking contradiction
And an incorrect depiction of himself
And all the things that he swears he tries to be
And he takes even though all he wants to do is give
He lusts even though all he wants to do is love
He dives deep even though he stays on the shore
He holds back when he wants to explore
Who you are and how you want to live
I know of a man
They call him Lonesome Joe
