[intro](New York city, 1977, here we go)[verse 1: zoe manville & john gourley]Are you living your teens in a shed?Is growing up giving you the bends?Is my little sunshine getting jealous of the moonbeamsFeeling gloomy in your bed?You left your friends where the pavement endsThe road of broken bones beginsBetween here and nowThere's glitter falling and a bannerThat says "welcome to hell"Make yourself at home but leave behind free willCan you feel me now?[pre-chorus: john gourley & zoe manville]You know I can't feel this pain in my heartBecause it's hard to see it falling apartMaybe I'm too blind to see why trouble finds meBut if it's here I'd rather see where it leadsCall me mr. lonely[chorus: zach carothers & zoe manville]You can call me anything, call me if you know meYou can call me king, I got 48 below meYou can call me anything, call me if you know meYou can call me king but there ain't a lot below meYou can call me king, I'm the king, you wanna know meBut no one calls me, call me mr. lonely[verse 3: john gourley]The stars are falling and I bet they got some stories to tellBe like long ago when I knew you wellListen for a changeCan you hear it now?[pre-chorus: john gourley & zoe manville]You know I can't feel this pain in my heartBecause it's honestly been falling apartMaybe I'm too blind to see how trouble finds meWell if it's here I'm gonna see where it leadsCall me mr. lonely[chorus: zach carothers & zoe manville]You can call me anything, call me if you know meYou can call me king, I got 48 below meYou can call me anything, call me if you know meYou can call me king but there ain't a lot below meYou can call me king, I'm the king, you wanna know meBut no one calls me, call me mr. lonely[verse 4: zoe manville]Do you whisper your dreams to the deaf (hello?)Deny that it's all in your head (that thought)The bitter past sleeps, sitting pretty in a limousineLookin' cruely under-fed (the real king)Leave your friends where the pavement endsThe road of broken promise beginsFeet, don't fail me now[verse 5: fat lip]Broken promises, alcohol anonymousInducted in the hall of fame for vomitin'I puked around the world, I'm the duke of earlI used to have a girl but she wasn't happyShe left me naturally, she left with natalieThey left in the back of a taxi, they was laughin' at meSo I lit the club, bottles up, poppin' shitFalse sense of happiness, perhaps I'll take what I getI guess it's better than nothin', right?Least I got this blunt to lightI'm doin' what I want tonightTomorrow I'm like "fuck my life"Laugh once, cry twiceI'm bad at takin' good adviceMan this lonely life ain't nothin' nice
