Did you find yourself a liar Or a fictional supplier Of mythology to call your own Or a way to spend the hours In between the lonely towers That you call your work and call your home Have you seen the dimming lights They're shining from a starlit night And calling back the star you are on your own. Have you given up on life And traded for another try Along with this one like an old, dusty coat
Well, know that you are not alone Even though you're always on your own You can always pick up the phone And just listen to the dial tone Sitting all alone with the dial tone Just sitting all alone with the dial tone My baby's gone to heaven
Did you see the exposition Of the general's position On the war that would never end And did you mention the direction Of the latest insurrection All the dollars that we're gonna spend And did you look upon the sun And smile down on everyone To let us know that we're gonna win And did you shed a single tear To mark the passing of the year Until the day that we lost our friend
Well, I know that you are not alone Even though you're always on your own You can always pick up the phone And just listen to the dial tone Sitting all alone with the dial tone Just sitting all alone with the dial tone My baby's gone to heaven now
Well, I say now I say now
Do you feel the satisfaction To the horrible reaction Of the face cast upon a mirror And as you look inconsequential Really lacking all potential So much older than it did last year But if you wanna find a cure One that will always work for sure And is approved by a group of your peers Start by turning out the lights And give yourself unto the night Under the cloven hooves of your fears
'Cause I know that you are not alone Even though you're always on your own You can always pick up the phone And just listen to the dial tone Sitting all alone with the dial tone Just sitting all alone with the dial tone My baby's gone to heaven
