Lonely Hearts Company lyrics

Sometimes you're sad and you don't know why
You sit under the stars and you almost cry
It's at times like these you know I'm lonely and I wanna die
And you're looking for a cigarette to ease your pain
And your life's a drag and you work in vain
Burn down your office and walk out into the rain

Life is short you gotta look around
Pretty soon you'll be all grown up
With dead-eyed kids and a life of hell
Stick with me and you'll feel swell

Lonely heart company
Selling shares in sympathy
Lonely hearts company
Share with me your misery

Well I don't like to smoke 'cause it takes your cash
And I don't roll notes 'cause I ain't that flash
But at times like these you know I feel like getting trashed

Yet the thing about you is that you see me through
And I can sit around and just talk to you
This world is such a cynical place, people can be so cruel

Life is short you gotta look around
Pretty soon you'll be all grown up
With dead-eyed kids and a life of hell
Stick with me and we'll feel swell

Lonely heart company
Selling shares in sympathy
Lonely hearts company
Share with me your misery X2
