Lonely Town - Jonathan Young

Every night

You whine about the rain, yeah

And you cry

On every single shoulder come your way, yeah, yeah

A-get your serotonin

I know where this is goin', yeah

At least your ten cents'

Just like gettin' paid, yeah, yeah, yeah

And you walk

Where you should run away, yeah, yeah, yeah

To your talking mirror

That will always bring you pain, yeah, yeah

What the hell you thinkin'?

Get yourself a shrink, and, yeah

A-maybe you’ll be better off some day

Yeah, yeah, yeah

And you’ve got your head in the clouds

In your sand castle, wearin' the crown, and

And now you’re findin'

That all this climbin' up’s for naught

You’re the king of Lonely Town

So you find

A throne without a king

And you ride

That wave, and it devours everything, yeah, yeah

A-desperately cling on, to your

Narcissistic kingdom

Tell yourself it isn’t crumbling

Oh, oh, oh

And you lost

Yourself in playin' God

And it cost

You all the self-awareness that you’ve got, yeah, yeah

Get your cult assembled

Build yourself a temple, to the

Hand-held religion that we’re taught

Oh, oh, oh

And you’ve got your head in the clouds

In your sand castle, wearin' the crown, and

And now you’re findin'

That all this climbin' up’s for naught

You’re the king of Lonely Town

Don’t be fooled by shinin' light

Kid, this shit ain’t worth the hype

Down this road a couple times

Gotta get this off my chest, yeah

Simple boy in fancy clothes

Hollow while the spotlight glows

It’s yourself that you don’t know

The human brain was never trained

To pass this ugly test

And you’ve got your head in the clouds

In your sand castle, wearin' the crown, and

And now you’re findin'

That all this climbin' up’s for naught

You’re the king…

Got your head in the clouds

In your sand castle, wearin' the crown, and

And now you’re findin'

That all this climbin' up’s for naught

You’re the king of Lonely Town
