They Might Be Giants - Sometimes A Lonely Way lyrics

rate me

Not everyone you've abandoned is still standing by

Not everyone who is lost is wondering why

Sometimes a lonely way

Taking your name down from the Jumbotron

Find a new place to stay

And a new home for the trumpeter swan

We can see it now, the scratches on the back of the door

We can see it now, no mistaking what you're better for

Sometimes a lonely way

Taken alive in an uncivil war

Trophies and glass displays

Rehearsals for third place forever more

Not everyone you've abandoned is still standing by

Not everyone who is lost is wondering why

Sometimes a lonely way

Taking your name down from the Jumbotron

Find a new place to stay

And a new home for the trumpeter swan
