Why can't I be on my own
Just me and the world alone
Oh why can't I be on my own
Just me and the world alone
Oh why is the world filled with people
It makes for a painful life
You'll disappoint me if you don't disappoint me
Come and dance with the tip of my knife
Why is the night filled with laughter
At expense of the sickest of jokes
While the world is a blot and it's cistern's fill up
On the dross and the shit we call folks
Why can't I be on my own
Just me and the world alone
Why can't I be on my own
Just me and the world alone
