I want to live alone in the desert I want to be like Georgia O'Keefe I want to live on the Upper East Side And never go down in the street Michael Jackson in Disneyland Don't have to share it with nobody else Lock the gates, Goofy, take my hand And lead me through the world of self Splendid isolation I don't need no one Splendid isolation
Don't want to wake up with on one beside me Don't want to take up with nobody new Don't want nobody coming by without calling first Don't want nothing to do with you
I'm putting tinfoil up on the windows Lying down in the dark to dream I don't want to see their faces I don't want to hear them scream Splendid isolation I don't need no one Splendid isolation Splendid isolation I don't need no one Splendid isolation
Don't want to wake up with no one beside me Don't want to take up with nobody new Don't want nobody coming by without calling first Don't want nothing to do with you
