Lovelorn

Lovelorn, he's torn between
The path of [Unidentified] resistance
That track traverse much travelled in the grey
And that other tougher way
The only road that leads home
And from which all those sad lost souls will stray

Lovelorn, he turns to [Unidentified]
He's coming in the wild wind
In hope that this dark feeling will rescind
Every bouquet's sad today
As Hallmark marks his sorrow
With sentimental tidings
That sting a heart so hollow

Lovelorn, he drinks 'til awn
Shrouded in his midnight
And every shot's a rocket to the grave
He's pining for that little girl
Some uncouth Lolita
Who cracks his heart just like an egg
Then gets busy with the beater

Lovelorn, he is drawn
To neon lights and downtown
City bars and taverns on the way
But all those legs round silver poles
And not enough distraction
To pull him from the quagmire
'Cos his heart is still in traction

Lovelorn, he is borne
Upon the wings of madness
Oh, what a number she has done on him
With her looks come hither
How quickly they did wither
Now the prospect of salvation's looking slim

Lovelorn, with that crown of thorns
Embedded in his cell phone
He's checking for a message every day
But no message ever comes
It's "ghosting", cold and so cruel
And he's his own worst enemy
Especially after nightfall

Especially after nightfall
Nightfall
