Intro: x2
Verse 1:
well I ll bet my Maria s got an elbow full of lonely
now here s a little prayer so that she might get some sleep
don t let her face get skinned by the sun today
don t let it in when it comes knocking at your door
Chorus:
loneliness
loneliness
loneliness
oh oh
Verse 2:
sometimes you feel you ve got the emptiest arms in the whole world
try to make sense but it always comes out absurd
sleeping horses keep eating up your flowers
don t let it in when it comes kicking at your door
Chorus:
loneliness
loneliness
loneliness
oh oh
came kicking at my door
Verse 3:
she said I ve really come to hate my body
and all the things that it requires in this world
I bet you re out there getting drunk with all your friends
and it ll get you in the bathroom of a Texaco
Chorus:
