Well I bet my Maria's got an elbow full of lonely
But here's a little prayer so that she might get some sleep
Don't let a face be skinned by the sun today
Don't let it in, when it comes knocking at your door

Lonliness, lonliness, lonliness
oh

Sometimes you feel you got the empty stars in the world
I try to make sense, but it always comes out absurd
Sleeping horses keep eating up your flowers
Don't let'em in when it comes kicking at your door

Lonliness, lonliness, lonliness
oh, came kicking at my door

She said, "I've really come to hate my body,
and all the things that it requires in this world."
I bet you're out there getting drunk with all your friends.
And it'll catch you in the bathroom of a Texaco.

Lonliness, lonliness, lonliness
oh, came kicking at my door
