Lonely, I seem, lonely, I lead Lonely, I feel, lonely, I bleed Lonely, I trust and lonely I must Be the rose with a broken neck The plow on the farm, the train on the track The tracks on my arm, the train in a wreck That's when they all seem to swarm, not when you are all alone In your home with a broken neck Help myself to a drink, help myself to the sea The dogs start to moan and the crows start to peck At my eyes and down at the ground, oh, and it shows I am the rose with the broken neck Lonely, I seem, lonely, I lead Lonely, I feel and lonely, I bleed Lonely, I trust and lonely, I must Be the rose with the broken neck
