Mr. Lonely

(New York City 1977) [Verse 1: Zoe Manville + effects] Are you living your teens in a shed? Is growing up giving you the bends? Is my little sunshine getting jealous Of the moonbeams Feeling gloomy in your bed? You left your friends Where the pavement ends The road of broken bones begins Between here and now [Verse 2: John Gourley] There's glitter falling and a banner that says "Welcome to Hell" Make yourself at home But leave behind free will Can you feel me now? [Chorus: John Gourley & Zoe Manville] You know I can't feel this pain in my heart Because it's hard to see it falling apart Maybe I'm too blind to see why trouble finds me But if it's here I'd rather see where it leads Call me Mr. Lonely [Chorus: Zach Carothers & Zoe Manville] You can call me anything Call me if you know me You can call me king I got 48 below me You can call me anything, call me if you know me You can call me king but there ain't below me You can call me king I'm the king you wanna know me But no one calls me I call me Mr. Lonely [Verse 3: John Gourley] The stars are falling and I bet they got some stories to tell Be like long ago when I knew you well Listen for a change Can you hear it now? [Chorus: John Gourley & Zoe Manville] You know I can't feel this pain in my heart Because it's honestly been falling apart Maybe I'm too blind to see how trouble finds me Well if it's here I'm gonna see where it leads Call me Mr. Lonely [Chorus: Zach Carothers & Zoe Manville] You can call me anything Call me if you know me You can call me king I got 48 below me You can call me anything, call me if you know me You can call me king but there ain't below me You can call me king I'm the king you wanna know me But no one calls me I call me Mr. Lonely [Verse 4: Zoe Manville + effects] Do you whisper your dreams to the deaf (hello?) Deny that it's all in your head Bitter past sleeps sitting pretty in a limousine Lookin' cooly under fed Leave your friends where the pavement ends The road of broken begins Feet don't fail me now [Verse 5: Fat Lip] Broken promises, alcohol anonymous Inducted in the hall of fame for vomitin' I puked round the world I'm the Duke of Earl I used to have a girl but she wasn't happy She left me naturally she left with Natalie They left in the back of a taxi they was laughin' at me So I lit the club, bottles up, poppin' shit False sense of happiness perhaps I'll take what I get I guess it's better than nothing, right? At least I got this blunt to light I'm doin' what I want tonight And tomorrow I'm like fuck my life Laugh once, cry twice I'm bad at takin' good advice Man this lonely life ain't nothin' nice
