"Alone Too Long"
(vonHummer)
I think I been alone too long, too long, too long,
and I think I been alone too long...
Think I been alone too long,
from time to time I get that shipwrecked feeling,
Think I been alone too long,
brought on by something strange I've said or done,
On my own everywhere I go,
Always show without a date or friend,
Shuck and jive I gotta stay alive,
Mr. Independent Great Pretender,
end each day the way it started out:
only me and my growing doubt,
seems so sad now and wrong, and
I think I been alone too long, too long, too long,
and I think I been alone too long...
Think I been alone too long
and my facade is giving out, about to crumble,
Think I been alone too long,
I still think "I" by default, and never "we,"
Speak too loud or I mostly mumble,
Stream of consciousness conversations,
Context convoluted in a jumble, Innuendoes flying overhead,
You do what again and where you from?
Are they speaking to me here below
like Great Gatsby from the great beyond?
Do I know anybody here? They keep asking lord I must look like a
party crasher, Well everybody here I thought I knew
musta looked around a got a clue,
when I went to hang my jacket up, I been ditched by acquaintences,
Lonely bi-planes of desperation
in each social situation shoot down my King Kong, and I think I been alone too long, too long, too long,
and I think I been alone too long...
