Under the spotlight, the neon kiss

Carnival barkers preen & twist

Three for a quarter, 2 for a dime

Broken hearts general store--open all the time



Chorus:

I'm lonely without you

Just like one left shoe

I'm lonely without you



Tennis shoes strung across a telephone wire

The sun sneaks up on my empire

Tent for your castle with a bubblegum crown

Me & my minions make the rounds



I'm lonely without you

Just like one left shoe

I'm lonely without you



Bridge:

I'm a little cocoon just blooming for you

I draw a deep breath, the day is new

I'm brave, i'm a hero, the world's bright & clear

But my insides shrivel when you're not here



Newspaper pile on my front porch

The sun is winding up, its starting to scorch

The air is dust & lungs are hot

I keep making love to what is not



I'm lonely without you

Just like one left shoe

I'm lonely without you
