We Are the Lonely

Down the hall upstairs from me There's a girl I swear I never see I hear the ringing of her phone She must live up there all alone She hangs her clothes out on the line They're hanging there right next to mine And if the wind should blow just right She could be in my arms tonight We are the lonely all together All together we're all alone We are the lonely all together All together we're all alone The cashier at the pump & pay Knows everything's gonna be okay The all night all right rent-a-cop Is across the street at the donut shop The waitress waits with whiskey sour At the single mingle happy hour The one man band begins to sing Accompanied by a drum machine We are the lonely all together All together we're all alone We are the lonely all together All together we're all alone White divorced swinging male Seeks company to no avail Worthless ruthless toothless man Wants wealthy woman with a plan SWF with a PhD Seeks TLC at the A&P GWM nice and trim Seeks s-e-x at the g-y-m Ugly man treats girls like dirt Wants buttons sewn upon his shirt DUI at the b-a-r Seeks m-a-n with c-a-r We are the lonely all together All together we're all alone We are the lonely all together All together we're all alone We are the lonely all together All together we're all alone We are the lonely all together All together we're all alone Toothy gal with breasts so large Takes Visa Amex Master Charge Dial 1-900 girls for fun You lonely little hot dog bun Songwriter: John Prine
