Lonely Alcoholic

Mika · The Boy Who Knew too Much [2009]

you're a lonely alcoholic

with a tendency to wine

well you speak it and you drink it

and bore us all the time



say you drink out of your sorrow

for you've got no one to love

but tell me who could cuddle up

to a lonely alcoholic



you're a stressed out single mother

who has clearly been harassed

well you can't predict the future

for you can't erase the past

cause your baby isn't going anywhere

but up so join the line and get the dole

for the stressed out single mother



I'm a mediocre writer

who sings all the time

writing songs about

misfortunes and other

people's crimes

well they say that I am

doing my duty to the world

Oh you could say that is onerous,

I'm just craving to be heard



ooooo don't leave me alone



well who is there to listen to

the problems of our lives

you've got kids who just don't eat enough

and men with many wives

if we're altogether screaming

why can't we make a sound

'cause the dirt on which we're stepping

is the one in which we will be found



ooooo baby don't leave me alone



well who is there to listen to

the problems of our lives

you've got kids who just don't eat enough

and men with many wives

if we're altogether screaming

why can't we make a sound

'cause the dirt on which we're stepping

is the one in which we will be found



ooooo baby don't leave me alone
