not alone

(1991, Atlanta)

When you’re done
you have won
You are alone

Start again
make some friends
you are alone

Then you meet some eyes
standin’ in a doorway
You can sympathize
Are you goin’ my way
now?

Didn’t think
it would work
Nothin’ left to try
Find a bed
rest your head
Let the feelings
die

Then you read some signs
pointing your direction
Meeting of the minds
See your own reflection
now

Not Alone
Not Alone

Painted words
TV moon
Bread and circus dreams
Breathin’ air
through despair
Find the ways and means

Then you lose a mind
ridin’ on the freeway
Are you wastin’ time?
Do you have the leeway
out?

Not Alone
Not Alone
