They Might Be Giants — Sometimes a Lonely Way lyrics

Lyrics

Not everyone you’ve abandoned
Is still standing by Not everyone who is lost is Wondering why
Sometimes a lonely way
Taking your name down from the Jumbotron
Find a new place to stay
And a new home for the trumpeter swan
We can see it now, the scratches
On the back of the door
We can see it now, no mistaking
What you’re better for
Sometimes a lonely way
Taken alive in an uncivil war
Trophies and glass displays
Rehearsals for third place, forever more
Bah bah bah bah, bah bah bah
Bah bah bah bah, bah bah bah
Bah bah bah bah, bah bah bah
Not everyone you’ve abandoned
Is still standing by Not everyone who is lost is Wondering why
Sometimes a lonely way
Taking your name down from the Jumbotron
Find a new place to stay
And a new home for the trumpeter swan
