Another day, another welcome mat A door engraved with twenty-eight, I won't remember that These corridors, they never lead to anywhere Another face, a late reminder of How I'm so used to being used So, I don't carry love My hands, they pay respect to what they once could bare Oh, how I wish you'd hold them now, but you're not there Why don't we talk? Why don't we talk? Oh, I'm lonely, I'm lonely Oh, please can you hold me? That's all I ask, no more than that Oh, I'm lonely, I'm lonely Oh, why can't you hold me? I'm, I'm, I'm And all it was, I know, was wishing you'd not stall And hoping I preserved the coating on these pebble walls But misconstrued, I'll always lose what I can't solve The hanging on to ambiguity Each stone I hold's a sequence shown on every road that we Followed but, now we don't speak, no Oh, why don't we talk? Why don't we talk? Oh, I'm lonely, I'm lonely Oh, please can you hold me? That's all I ask, no more than that Oh, I'm lonely, I'm lonely Oh, why can't you hold me? I'm, I'm, I'm I'm, I'm, I'm Know I'm, I'm, I'm You're serving a purpose In a life that hurts But bound to the surface You forget what it's worth You've never looked better Suppressed and reserved Why don't we talk? Why don't we talk? Oh, I'm lonely, I'm lonely Oh, please can you hold me? That's all I ask No more than that Oh, I'm lonely, I'm lonely Oh, why can't you hold me? I'm, I'm, I'm I'm, I'm, I'm Know I'm, I'm, I'm

You're Lonely And I'm Lonely, So why can't we be lonely together? The night is young and while it grows older We can't forget crying on each other's shoulder. The sky's cloudy 'cause we're lonely, But soon we'll see a change in the weather, Two lonely hearts beating as one, Can be miserable and still have a lot of fun.

A forty gallon hat And some polka-dot shoes. Tomato pickin' onion juice To drive away my blues. A bright red leather suit, A trip in a motorboat, And the strike I caused on the waterfront When I fell outta my yellow coat. Hey now, stick with it. Aw baby don't quit it. You know you're bound to git it. Yes sir, made outta goat skin, foreskin And layin' out in milk and gin. The people quit the scene Like the devil was loose. The clouds turned green And let down lemon juice. What walks on two feet And looks like a goat? That crazy Screamin' Jay In a bright yellow coat. Hey now, stick with it. Baby, baby don'tcha quit it. Aw you're bound to git it. Yes sir, made outta goat skin, foreskin And layin' out in milk and gin. I took a plane out midwest To see my Uncle Joe. We ran into some real bad weather, Ice, rain and snow. Fifty million bulldogs Twenty mountain goats, All gathered 'round at sundown To see my yellow coat. Hey now, stick with it. No, no, no, no don'tcha dare quit it. Hey, you're bound to git it. Made outta goat skin, foreskin And layin' out in milk and gin.

I met this chick at a kung-fu flick And she really was exciting She had a real doll face, asked me to her place I said, screaming, "that's inviting!" When we got there she said sit anywhere So I sat down on a couch She said close yourr eyes, I got a big surprise And next thing I knew, whoohoohoo! Voodoo! (Whoo-ooo!) Gimme a boo-boo! (Whoo-hooo!) Now I'm someone you can see through Who do you think you are? Now, sticks and stones will break my bones But nails would never harm me But when she starts sticking in pins in me I said "Meh!" – that alarm me Now it ain't that I'm old fashioned And I won't go for something new But baby, please, I ain't no cheese I'd like to [???] Voodoo! (Whoo-ooo!) Gimme a boo-boo! (Whoo-hooo!) Now I'm someone you can see through Who do you think you are? Now I must admit though it hurt a bit I got used to it, and it thrilled me! We fell in love on a bed of nails But our loving almost killed me Now, it ain't that I'm religious But I'm holy and she's wicked When the Sun goes down and the Moon rose [???] Come on, sweetie Voodoo! (Whoo-ooo!) Gimme a voodoo! (Whoo-hooo!) Now you're someone I can see through Who do you think you are? Who do you think you are?
