lyrics

Shaney left us and he went to Texas
Now I'm stuck with a synthesizer bassist.
On my own, on my own again
 The sun is shining and the cat needs fed
But it ain't enough to get me out of bed.
I'm on my own, on my own again
 I'm a beautiful disgrace
when I've got some time to waste
And i've got no one to make me
want to keep it in line.
 Baby's working out of town for days (and)
I'm at home drinking beer and eating cornflakes
On my own, on my own again
 I'm a beautiful disgrace
when I've got some time to waste
And i've got no one to make me
want to keep it in line.
Cause I’m on my own again…
 Empty space turns quickly into crisis
When I'm left here to my own devices
On my own, on my own again
