One Left Shoe

Tennis shoe strung across The telephone wire The sun creeps up On my empire Tin foil castle Bubble gum crown Me and my minions Make the rounds

I'm lonely without you Just like one left shoe I'm lonely without you

Under the spotlight A neon kiss Carnival barkers Preen and twist Three for a quarter One for a dime This broken heart General store Is open all the time

I'm lonely without you Just like one left shoe I'm lonely without you

I'm a little cocoon Just blooming for you I take a deep breath The day is new I'm brave I'm a hero The world's bright and clear But my insides shrivel When you're not here
Newspapers piled On my frontporch The sun's winding up It's starting to scorch The air is dust My lungs are hot I keep making love To what is not

I'm lonely without you Just like one left shoe I'm lonely without you
