Steve Poltz - One Left Shoe lyrics

rate me

Tennis shoe strung 'cross the telephone wire

The sun creeps up on my empire

Tin foil castle, bubble gum crown

Me and my minions make the rounds

I'm lonely without you

Just like one left shoe

I'm lonely

Without you

Under the spotlight a neon kiss

Carnival barkers preen and twist

Three for a quarter, one for a dime

This broken heart general store is open all the time

I'm lonely without you

Just like one left shoe

I'm lonely

Without you

I'm a little cocoon just blooming for you

I take a deep breath, the day is new

I'm brave, I'm a hero

The world's bright and clear

But my insides shrivel when you're not here

Newspapers piled on my front porch

The sun's winding up, it's starting to scorch

The air is dust, my lung's are hot

I keep making love to what is not

I'm lonely without you

Just like one left shoe

I'm lonely

Without you
