On My Own

Through the million miles of words I have to run through To tell you how I feel I take another book from shelves So dusty that I thought I'd never read It takes some time to realize The temptation of living lies (Ohhhh) I'm on my own I'm on my own I'm on my own I'm on my own I take a ride through city bars Where vulture girls attend to dying stars Thunder claps the midnight sky As I try to find all the reasons why This lonely sound, this clubland beat I dance away with stranger's feet (Ohhhh) I'm on my own I'm on my own I'm on my own I'm on my own Well, since you've been gone The party goes on, and on, and on Cut loose in a free fall world Of might-have-beens and promises laid bare The sour-sweet perfume is all I have To show that you once lingered there All these thrills don't mean too much Compared to you, your taste, your touch (Ohhhh) I'm on my own I'm on my own I'm on my own I'm on my own I'm on my own I'm on my own I'm on my own I'm on my own There's something left There's something left There's something left inside of me There's something left There's something left There's something left inside of me There's something left There's something left There's something left inside of me There's something left There's something left There's something left inside of me There's something left There's something left There's something left inside of me
