Lonely Town

Well the news is, happy news is
The avenues have numbers on them
And that means no excuses
For feeling lost when wandering down
The streets inside a town where addition has its uses

But I'm not feeling very savvy here
I'm not feeling very happy here
Is this how it's supposed to feel?

I'm not feeling like I'm getting it
My feelings actually are shit
I've never felt so down

And the news is, Mom, the news is
I'm the only one not celebrating
I don't feel like there's that much waiting
Around here to be found
And the truth is, Mom, the truth is
It's a lonely, it's a lonely, lonely town
Lonely, lonely town

The great belly snakes arrive and roar
And the world it passes by
And who am I here anymore
But a person locked inside?

The pavement shakes, and I once swore
It's from all the hopes so high
They all stay for what's in store
Then the lights stop, so will I

Well the news is, happy news is
Nobody can hear you scream
Through the sirens and glass ceilings
And the truth I hold, the truth is

I'm out here supposed to be dreaming
Somewhere though I lost the meaning
Just trying to be happy here
Not get hit by a taxi here
Trying not to fall behind

But trying's the most trying part
I'll lose the will if I've lost my heart
Perhaps I've lost my mind

But I'll find my way around
After all these streets are numbered
In this lovely, it's a lovely, lonely town
Lonely, only town

The great belly snakes arrive and roar
And the world it passes by
And who am I here anymore
But a person locked inside?

The pavement shakes and I once swore
It's from all the hopes so high
They all stay for what's in store
When the light stops, so will I
When the cars stop, so will I
When the world stops, so will I

But the news is
Happy news is
I'll be fine
