One Left Shoe

[Verse 1] Tennis shoe strung 'cross the telephone wire The sun creeps up on my empire Tin foil castle, bubble gum crown Me and my minions make the rounds [Chorus] I'm lonely without you Just like one left shoe I'm lonely Without you [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] I'm lonely without you Just like one left shoe I'm lonely Without you [Bridge] 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 [Verse 3] Newspapers piled on my front porch 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 [Chorus] I'm lonely without you Just like one left shoe I'm lonely Without you
