The Lonely Man

from RAW by The Banned

/

lyrics

He just sits there by the Grave
Hoping it don't Rain down tonight
Head in hands he cries her name
Deep in Happy thaughts
Amd despite all the Things he Wan'ts to do
He will never see them through
The sky is black, but he is blue tonight

Looking up above he thinks,
How and When?, why is he sittin' here
She was only young to him
And as he recollects he sheds a tear
The fucked up shit in his head
Will stay with him until he's dead
She will never leave, he said in fear

Coz he's only, a few inches from the floor
And they're laughing
The Lonely Man
He aint laughing anymore

Memories will pass him by
Always good and never really bad
But memories can't always last
and neither can the feelings that he had
and when he's sleeping alone
it never really feels like home
Face it boy your screaming pretty bad

Coz he's only, a few inches from the floor
And they're laughing
The Lonely Man
He aint laughing anymore

He don't notice all the world
everything will stop for just a day
eyes are fixed on just one thing
Knowing soon he's got to Walk away
And after that he will know
that from now on he's feeling low
face it man, it's been a shitty day

Coz he's only, a few inches from the floor
And they're laughing
The Lonely Man
He aint laughing anymore

Dawn approaches at the scene
Lonely man lies statued, eyes are shut
Weeping air blows through his vains
his icy fingers solid as a rock
The jogger got a surprise
he phones the ambulance, it arrives
but he was dead and clutching at the clock

Coz he's only, a few inches from the floor
And they're laughing
The Lonely Man
He aint laughing anymore
anymore
