Spin the globe, stop and start
Come to a place that's torn apart
Here's a secret, it's my heart
Oh well, it's onlyBroken shutters, whistling wind
Vultures circling overhead
Tumbleweeds fly, dust in my eyes
Guess, it's not my feelings cryingPeeling paint on empty homes
Where people lived in this town long ago
Pack their bags, nail down the door
To Lonely TownOh, I once had a love of my life
The sun of my soul
But I took him for granted, ignored all the signs
And now it's just memories and passing ghostsSpider webs and weeds waist high
Abandoned schoolyards and rusted wire
Looking for love, looking for life
In Lonely TownIf you're lucky with a love of your own
Remember this in a nutshell and I've told
Hold them close and don't let go
And cherish forevermore
Or you will live in Lonely Town
