Annie

Somethin' like a carnival
We're separate hearts on a carousel
The marching band is harmonious
In a crowded room of loneliness

My mind is playin' tricks on me
All the while, I believe
I'm happy in a fancy dress
While I waltz around with loneliness

My suitors may think I'm a dainty little things
'Cause I paint on my smile in a shade of pink
But give me a gun and I'll never miss
'Cause I learned how to fight with loneliness

O, I ain't a believer
We will ever meet again
But if we do,
I'd have no problem settin' fire to the sand
And we'd run away
With all that money burnin' holes in our hands
And they'd say
Annie gone and done it just the way that she had planned
And they'd say
Annie isn't lonely anymore

Change the tune to Boxcar Willie
And look at the moon on an ol' trapeze
Swingin low, the first night we kissed
When I fell in love with loneliness

O, I ain't a believer
We will ever meet again
But if we do,
I'd have no problem settin' fire to the sand
And we'd run away
With all that money burnin' holes in our hands
And they'd say
Annie gone and done it just the way that she had planned
And they'd say
Annie isn't lonely anymore
