[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse 1]
It gets lonely, lonely, lonely, sometimes
It gets lonely after dark
Don't stay in on your own for too long
You'll get strange, you'll go wrong
It gets lonely, lonely, lonely, sometimes
It gets lonely after dark
Don't stay in on your own for too long
You'll get strange, you'll go wrong
[Refrain]
Time to put on the actor
Go out and look for the action
Strike a pose in the street lights
Pretend I'm somebody different tonight
Facing the shadows
Pretend that nothing else matters
I've gotta put on the actor
Go out and look for the action tonight
[Pre-Chorus]
Please don't let me sit here watching all this shit
I've had enough of it to last another thousand years of sitting here
[Chorus]
It's all out there, and I'm in here
Unless the world has disappeared (DISAPPEAR!)
I think I oughta leave this room (DISAPPEAR!)
I think I've gotta leave this room (DISAPPEAR!)
I think I oughta leave this room (DISAPPEAR!)
I think I've gotta leave this room (DISAPPEAR!)
[Post-Chorus]
Or I may as well just lay right down and die
So I might as well go out
[Bridge]
(All I need is energy, and energy is everything)
(All I need is energy, and energy is everything)
(All I need is energy, and energy is everything)
(All I need is energy, and energy is everything)
(All I need is energy, and energy is everything)
(All I need is energy, energy, energy, energy)
(Energy, energy, energy, energy, energy)
(Energy, energy, energy, energy, energy)
(Energy, energy, energy energy, energy, energy)
(Energy, energy, energy, energy, energy)
[Verse 2]
Yeah I would call you, call you, call you once more
If there was something left to talk about
There is only so much we can say
Think we used it all up
Oh, there must be someone, someone, someone like you
Where I can use my words up all again
Hello friend, I am me, who are you?
I love you, let's break up
[Refrain]
Time to put on the actor
Go out and look for the action
Strike a pose in the street lights
Pretend I'm somebody different tonight
Facing the shadows
Pretend that nothing else matters
I've gotta put on the actor
Go out and look for the action tonight
[Pre-Chorus]
Hand on the handle
Awake from a cue
LIGHTS, CAMERA, ACTION
And I'm gonna leave this room if it's the last thing that I do
[Chorus]
'Cause it's all out there, and I'm in here
Unless the world has disappeared (DISAPPEAR!)
I think I oughta leave this room (DISAPPEAR!)
I think I've gotta leave this room (DISAPPEAR!)
I think I oughta leave this room (DISAPPEAR!)
I think I've gotta leave this room (DISAPPEAR!)
[Post-Chorus]
Or I may as well just lay right down and die
So I might as well go out
