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
