John Prine - We Are the Lonely lyrics

rate me

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
