Lyrics


Through the miles of words I have
        to run through to tell you how I feel
I take another book from shelves
        so dusty that I thought I'd never read
It takes some time to realise
The temptation of telling lies

I'm on my own
I'm on my own
I'm on my own
I'm on my own

I take a ride through city bars
        where vulture girls attend to dying stars
Thunder claps the midnight sky
        as I try to find all the reasons why
This lonely sound this clubland beat
I dance away with strangers feet

I'm on my own
I'm on my own
I'm on my own
I'm on my own

Well since you've been gone
        the party goes on and on and on

Cut loose in a free-fall world
        of might have beens and promises laid bare
The sour-sweet perfume is all I have
        to show that you once lingered there
All the thrills don't mean too much
Compared to you, your taste, your touch

I'm on my own
I'm on my own
I'm on my own
I'm on my own

There's something left
There's something left
There's something left inside of me
